China has maintained its benchmark lending rates for the 12th month, with the one-year loan prime rate at 3.00% and the five-year rate at 3.50%. This decision aligns with market expectations amid ample interbank liquidity. Economic activity remains soft, prompting analysts to predict targeted fiscal stimulus rather than broad rate cuts, as inflation concerns grow.

- China maintained its benchmark lending rates for the 12th consecutive month in May, meeting market expectations.  
- Ample interbank liquidity and the recent quarterly report from the People's Bank of China indicate a cautious approach to rate cuts amid ongoing economic softness.  
- The decision reflects a strategic choice to support stability in lending rather than immediate rate reductions.

Iron Ore Prices Decline Amid Concerns Over China's Demand Outlook

Moody's Ratings indicates that Hong Kong's residential property market will continue to recover despite potential interest rate hikes, driven by demand from relocating professionals and rising rents. Residential prices are expected to rise by 12% in 2026, supported by lower mortgage rates and increased homebuyer activity from mainland China. Office and retail sectors are also showing improvement, with overall home sales climbing 16.7% month-on-month in April. However, average property development margins are projected to remain below historical levels.

China's economic data for April revealed significant slowdowns in growth, with investment declining and retail sales at their weakest in four years. Industrial production also grew at the slowest pace in three years, raising concerns about domestic consumption. Analysts are urging the government to consider stronger stimulus measures, as the disappointing figures suggest deeper economic vulnerabilities. Despite strong exports, the outlook for GDP growth remains cautious, with forecasts indicating potential growth as low as 4.1% in the second quarter.
