*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The US interest rate cuts bring support to the Chinese property markets. However, the determining factor is still the fundamentals and sentiments in China. China’s central bank has more room for monetary easing. Interest rate cuts are an essential policy stimulus for China to end deflation. Subsequent renminbi appreciation may hurt China’s exports. However, products from the US and Europe may become more competitive in 2025.
