China's central bank has opted to maintain its one-year policy rate at 2%, following a significant reduction in funding costs last month. This decision reflects a cautious approach to monetary stimulus aimed at supporting the economy, as the People’s Bank of China drained a net 89 billion yuan ($12.5 billion) in October. Most economists anticipated the rate would remain unchanged.
The IMF has downgraded China's growth forecast to 4.8% for this year, citing a worsening property market as a significant risk. The report warns of potential further price corrections and reduced consumer confidence, despite recent government measures aimed at stimulating the economy. China's GDP growth for the third quarter was reported at 4.6%, slightly above expectations, but concerns remain over the sustainability of these support measures and their impact on public finances.
The Chinese stock market has rebounded significantly after a three-year decline, surging 45% recently, driven by measures from the People's Bank of China, including interest rate cuts and easing reserve requirements. As China, now an $18 trillion economy, contributes nearly 20% to global growth, its economic trends are crucial for sustaining this momentum. To support recovery, spending plans should target 3-4% of GDP over the next two years, amounting to $600-$700 billion.
Oil prices have declined as optimism over China's economic stimulus fades, compounded by rising US crude inventories. Investors are now focused on upcoming US inflation data, with expectations of a slight decrease, while recent Fed minutes revealed no plans for accelerated interest rate cuts. Additionally, Hurricane Milton poses potential risks along the Florida coast, with expected damages in the billions.
Silver prices are nearing a 14-year high, approaching the significant $32.50 mark, driven by expectations of monetary policy easing in China and interest rate shifts in the U.S. Investors are closely watching upcoming speeches from Fed Chairman Jerome Powell and new U.S. economic data for potential market impacts. The recent stimulus measures from the People's Bank of China are also contributing to the bullish sentiment among silver investors.
