Yesterday we got the monthly loan rate setting from the People's Bank of China
- Unchanged for the 19th consecutive month.
Its unleashed a flurry of tips for what the PBOC could do next, this from Monday US time:
And now this morning from Chinese media - Economic Information Daily says the PBOC is unlikely to cut the MLF rate this year. Which makes sense, time is running out!

- Macquarie: "This time, the removal of the phrase sets the stage for a step-up in monetary easing"
