The People's Bank of China has held its key policy rates steady throughout April 2026, with the 7-day reverse repo rate unchanged at 1.4% via daily open market operations and benchmark Loan Prime Rates (LPRs)—one-year at 3.0% and five-year at 3.5%—maintained on April 20 for an 11th straight month, aligning with expectations after robust early-year GDP growth diminished easing urgency. Trader consensus reflects this status quo, pricing No Change at 99.9% as the resolution deadline of April 30 nears without adjustments. Recent Politburo signals of restraint have tempered cut forecasts, though a surprise medium-term lending facility (MLF) shift or reserve requirement ratio (RRR) tweak in the final days could theoretically challenge it, albeit with negligible probability given PBOC's transparency patterns.
