China's central bank has held benchmark loan prime rates steady at record lows for 15 consecutive months through August 2026, reflecting a clear policy preference for fiscal implementation over additional monetary easing. Recent July data showed softening domestic demand, with slower industrial output, retail sales, and a sharp contraction in new yuan loans, alongside ongoing property sector weakness and moderating Q2 GDP growth. Policymakers at the July Politburo meeting emphasized accelerating spending on budgeted infrastructure projects rather than new stimulus, while the PBOC has signaled a continued loose stance without indicating imminent policy rate or reserve requirement ratio adjustments. Low bank net interest margins further constrain room for cuts, and liquidity tools have shifted toward targeted short-term operations. Trader consensus assigns overwhelming probability to no change by September 30, consistent with analyst views that the next LPR fixing will hold absent major shifts in these conditions.
