China Holds Benchmark Loan Prime Rates Steady in July Following Weak Q2 GDP Data

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) maintained its benchmark lending rates unchanged for the 14th consecutive month at its monthly fixing on Monday, opting for stability despite recent data highlighting an uneven economic recovery.The central bank held the one-year loan prime rate (LPR), which serves as the benchmark for most corporate and household loans, at 3.00%.This decision matched the consensus forecast tracked by Investing.com.Meanwhile, the five-year LPR, the reference rate for residential mortgages, was maintained at 3.50%.PBOC's move is an indicator that policymakers are more interested in keeping monetary policy stable amid an uneven economic recovery.The steady fixings follow the release of soft macroeconomic indicators from Beijing.China's gross domestic product expanded 4.3% year over year in the second quarter, decelerating from 5.0% in the first quarter due to muted domestic consumption. While first-half exports remained resilient, internal demand indicators were soft, with June consumer price inflation ticking down to 1.0%, versus the 1.1% forecast, and new yuan loans missing expectations at 1.61 trillion yuan."On the monetary side, low but positive inflation shouldn't impede further People's Bank of China easing if it is deemed necessary," ING Chief Economist for Greater China Lynn Song said in a July 15 note.Earlier in July, the central bank said it will keep its monetary policy moderately loose and increase financial support to boost domestic demand and financial innovation.PBOC also called for better guidance on policy interest rates and improvements in the market-based interest rate, as well an assessment of bond market operations."Policymakers have made efforts to maintain ample liquidity, and we expect there is a solid chance we will see a rate cut within the quarter," ING's Song said.

Air China, Hainan Airlines Lock In $17.8 Billion Airbus Bulk Orders Despite Q2 Pressures

Three major Chinese airline companies have finalized bulk aircraft purchase commitments with Airbus, carrying a total list-price valuation of $17.8 billion despite experiencing challenges from elevated jet fuel costs.Air China (HKG:0753, SHA:601111) will acquire 15 Airbus A350-900 jets valued at $6.09 billion at list prices for delivery between 2030 and 2032, according to exchange filings over the weekend.Its majority-owned subsidiary Shenzhen Airlines finalized an agreement for 40 A320neo aircraft valued at $6.35 billion, with deliveries scheduled from 2029 to 2032.Separately, Hainan Airlines (SHA:600221) committed to 40 A320neo jets carrying a maximum list value of $5.36 billion, slated to arrive in batches between 2028 and 2032.The fleet expansions come despite expected losses in the first half due to macro headwinds.Air China expects attributable net loss for the first half to balloon to between 2.1 billion yuan and 2.6 billion yuan from 1.81 billion yuan a year earlier.The company attributed the forecast to higher jet fuel prices as a result of the Middle East conflict, squeezing its profit margins.The Iran conflict also weighed heavily on passenger traffic in June, with Air China's available seat kilometers, or ASK, falling 6.1% year over year. Revenue passenger kilometers, or passenger traffic, slid 2.9% from a year earlier, while cargo capacity also dropped by 6.3% year over year.Similarly, Hainan Airlines' ASK declined 7.0% year on year in the same month. RPK fell 7.7%, while cargo and mail volume slipped 9.6%.Data from global aviation consultancy IBA shows that while mainland Chinese operators have experienced minor localized headwinds, overall domestic and outbound system capacity remains near normalized pre-crisis run rates.
