China's Rate Cut Meets Indifferent Markets, Canada CPI Takes Center Stage - Action Forex
The financial markets are rather calm in Asian session today, while major currency pairs and crosses largely engage in a phase of consolidation. This tranquility comes in the wake of China's surprising decision to significantly lower its mortgage reference interest rate, a move designed to provide a much-needed boost to the struggling property sector and, by extension, the broader economy. Despite the potential implications of such a policy shift, reaction across the markets was relatively muted, with only the offshore Yuan registering slight gains.
