The Chinese authorities managed to surprise the market on Thursday, with a large stimulus plan that exceeded expectations. The PBOC has thrown the kitchen sink at its sluggish economy and unloved equity market. It announced cuts to short-term interest rates and reserve requirements, which are now at their lowest level since 2020. It also eased mortgage rates to the tune of $5.3trn and eased the ability to purchase second homes. In a surprise move, the PBOC also announced $113bn of liquidity support for equities, and Asian indices have surged on Tuesday.
