The PBOC Retains The 1-Year Loan Prime Rate At 3.70 Percent, While The AUD/USD Remains Modestly Bid.

 During Monday's announcement, the People's Bank of China (PBOC) held its major monetary policy rates, namely the Loan Prime Rates (LPRs), unchanged.

The Chinese central bank has maintained the 1-year and 5-year LPRs at 4.45 percent and 3.7 percent, respectively, in line with market expectations.



The Market Reaction

The event received no significant reaction because markets had already anticipated no change in the PBOC's monetary policy. Even so, by press time, the AUD/USD exchange rate was hovering around 0.6950.

Concerning the PBOC's Interest Rate Decision

The People's Bank of China announces its interest rate decision. It is beneficial, or bullish, for the CNY if the PBoC is hawkish about the economy's inflationary prospects and raises interest rates. Similarly, if the PBoC has a dovish outlook on the Chinese economy and maintains or lowers the interest rate, it is negative, or bearish.

What is the spread in forex trading ?

For each currency pair, forex brokers will provide you two separate prices: the bid and ask price.  The " bid " is the price at which the base currency can be SOLD. The " ask " is the price at which the base currency can be purchased. The spread is the difference between these two prices. Also referred to as the " bid/ask spread ."  What is the spread in forex trading ? Brokers who do not charge commissions rely on the spread to make money. This spread represents the cost of enabling instantaneous transactions. This is why " transaction cost " and " bid-ask spread " are interchangeable terminology. The cost of making a trade is included into the buy and sell price of the  currency pair  you want to exchange, rather than being charged separately. This makes sense from a business aspect. The broker provides a service and must earn a profit in some way. They profit by selling the currency to you for a higher price than they purchased for i...

New Covid Cases Have Been Reported In Beijing, Reigniting Fears Of A Lockdown

  New Covid Cases Have Been Reported In Beijing, Reigniting Fears Of A Lockdown An earlier report mentioned that the Shanghai district is required to close all shops and residents must stay at home. Currently, Bloomberg reports that, during its current COVID outbreak, the Beijing city has reported a record number of COVID cases. Therefore, while reviving the crisis, the Chinese officials are planning to implement a lockdown in the capital city of China as they don’t want to see any community out spread of the COVID virus in the future. On Sunday, the city of Beijing reported 99 COVID cases, up from 61 on Saturday. The Bloomberg report warns that the total number of COVID cases might be low, but since the COVID outbreak started, the rise seems to be one of the biggest. This will exacerbate the lockdown crisis, and it may be resurrected through financial markets, which are scaling on risk appetite, and currencies such as the Australian dollar, which trades as an intermediate. However...

What is lots in forex trading ?

In the Forex market (FX),  a lot  is commonly traded in specific amounts or, in the simplest terms, the number of currency units you will be purchasing or selling. A  lot  is defined as a unit of measurement for a specified transaction amount. On the trading platform, orders are placed in sizes that are quoted as  lots . It’s similar to an egg carton or an egg box. Usually, when you buy eggs, you will purchase them in a carton or box, and one carton includes 12 eggs. The standard lot size is 100,000 units of currency. Besides, there are mini (10,000), micro (1000), and nano (100) lot sizes. LOT NUMBER OF UNITS Standard  100,000 Mini 10,000 Micro 1,000 Nano 100 A few brokers show quantity in  lots  while others display it in the actual currency units. As we previously discussed, the variation in the currency value relative to another is measured in  pips ,  which is a very, very small percentage of the currency value unit. In order to tak...
