Comments from the PBOC

  • Mon pol is now appropriate

  • Will look at changes in the macro-economy and financial sector in the future

  • Yuan remains stable vs currency basket on Oct, despite falling against the dollar

  • That underlines commitment to new currency regime

  • Impact on yuan to be limited if Fed raises rates in Dec (What about Nov?)

  • Mon pol will consider possible impact on property market

The usual waffle from China. The Fed comment shows exactly where most folks are looking for a hike.
