News

Chinese monetary policy eased slightly….

After Friday’s European open, the Chinese central bank announced a 25 basis-point reduction in the bank reserve ratio requirement in an attempt to underpin liquidity. The move helped underpin global risk appetite, although the overall response was limited.

…. but political protests intensify

There has, however, been a notable increase in political protests within China amid a series of protests in Shanghai and Bejing against Coronavirus policies, mass testing and lockdowns.

Very unusually, there was also criticism of the leadership and evidence of calls for President Xi to step down.

There will be concerns over the threat of a crackdown by the authorities.

Global risk appetite dips

Risk appetite deteriorated on Monday amid concerns over protests in China. Equity markets moved lower, although moves were limited at this stage.

Oil prices under pressure

Oil prices dipped sharply on Friday and China concerns were a significant element in triggering further losses on Monday with benchmark crude prices sliding to 2022 lows

Lower oil prices will help ease market concerns over global inflation developments.
