The People's Bank of China (PBOC) has maintained its benchmark Loan Prime Rates (LPRs) unchanged at 3.00% for one-year loans and 3.50% for five-year loans since its April 20 announcement—the 11th consecutive month without adjustment—aligning with trader consensus amid robust first-quarter GDP growth meeting policy targets. The 7-day reverse repo rate, the market's key policy benchmark, has held steady at 1.4% through daily open market operations, including recent medium-term lending facility (MLF) injections. Global banks like Goldman Sachs and Nomura recently withdrew 2026 rate-cut forecasts following a restrained Politburo statement on April 28, solidifying no-change positioning to 100%. A last-minute policy reversal before April 30 close remains theoretically possible but faces high barriers given economic stability and procedural norms.
