Weekend headlines from China appear mixed as the Dragon Nation tried to bolster economic activity via another stimulus measures but lacked a positive response from the markets amid fears about an economic slowdown. Also, the cautious mood ahead of the US-China talks in Beijing, as US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo visits Beijing for four days, prods the optimists.
China Finance Ministry confirmed the previous expectations of cutting the stamp duty of 0.1% on stocks trading to half "in order to invigorate the capital market and boost investor confidence".
Additionally, the China Securities Regulatory Commission (CSRC) is rolling out measures to shore up market confidence in investing in listed companies. The CSRC signaled a slowing downbeat pace of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and regulated major shareholders' share reductions to defend the equities markets from volatility.
China’s Industrial Profits for July dropped 6.7% YoY and -15.5% for the first seven months of 2023 compared to the same period last year, per the weekend news shared via Reuters. It’s worth noting that the Industrial Profits were -8.3% in June.
Further details of the report state that the profits dived for 28 of 41 major industrial sectors, led by the ferrous metal smelting and rolling processing industry which reported the deepest slump at 90.5%.
US Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo landed in Beijing on Sunday for a four-day diplomatic visit.
While departing for China, the policymaker clearly stated in the US, per Reuters, that she would promote discussions on boosting trade and tourism ties with China while crossing out discussions on the American national security trade measures.
"If you wanted to put a tagline to the trip and the mission, it’s protecting what we must and promote where we can," said US Commerce Secretary Raimondo per Reuters.
US Commerce Secretary Raimondo will hold bilateral meetings with Chinese officials on Monday and Tuesday in Beijing before she heads to Shanghai. She will be joined by U.S. Ambassador to China Nicholas Burns reported Reuters.
Even so, the policymaker showed readiness for regular communication to have a stable commercial relationship and avoid conflicts.
