The benchmark one-year lending rate will increase to 6.06% from 5.81%, effective tomorrow, the People’s Bank of China said on its website today. The one- year deposit rate will rise to 3%, from 2.75%.
“The move by the Chinese was fairly expected, and the currency market is pretty unfazed and is taking it in stride so far,” said Fabian Eliasson, head of U.S. currency sales at Mizuho Financial Group Inc. in New York. “The euro is up from yesterday as you’re seeing a calmer situation in Egypt, and that’s certainly helping the euro. The overall global situation is better.”
