Yuan Slides After PBOC, Dollar Little Changed on MLK Day

LONDON/SINGAPORE—The yuan fell on Monday to a one-month low after China’s central bank surprised markets by keeping its medium-term policy rate steady, while the dollar was little changed on Martin Luther King (MLK) Jr. Day, a public holiday. The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) left interest rates unchanged when rolling over maturing medium-term policy loans, defying market expectations for a cut to shore up China’s bumpy post-pandemic economic recovery. That sent the onshore yuan sliding to a one-month low of 7.1813 per dollar before recouping some of those losses to trade down 0.08 percent at 7.1749. Its offshore counterpart fell…

Global Stocks Steady Before Busy Week, China Skips Rate Cut

LONDON/SYDNEY—Global stocks held steady on Monday, with U.S. markets closed for a holiday, while Chinese equities fell slightly after the country’s central bank wrong-footed investors by skipping on a rate cut. MSCI’s world stock index was unchanged in morning trading in Europe. It has fallen around 0.35 percent so far this year after rallying 20 percent in 2023. China’s CSI 300 index fell to its lowest since 2019 but recovered to stand 0.1 percent lower as investors digested the central bank’s decision to leave its medium-term policy rate unchanged on Monday, defying expectations for a cut.
