TODAY’S FACTORS AND EVENTS

China’s Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 index fell 0.7%, while the Shanghai Composite index fell 1%. The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) maintained its medium-term policy rate on Thursday after steadily lowering lending rates earlier this year. The move was likely driven by increased depreciation in the yuan, which plummeted to two-year lows in recent weeks.

Today’s move indicates that the PBoC is looking to find a balance between shoring up economic growth and allowing further depreciation in the yuan, which is also facing headwinds from rising U.S. interest rates.
