HSBC Research has lowered expectations for rate cuts in 2026 following the People's Bank of China's recent monetary policy report. The report suggests a high likelihood of net interest income expansion for Chinese banks, particularly ICBC, CCB, and Bank of China H shares. The research indicates that corporate banking is outperforming retail, with positive growth in corporate loans. Additionally, banks are advised to limit high-interest interbank time deposits to reduce competition and funding costs.

JPM's report highlights that China's April credit data fell significantly short of expectations, with Aggregate Financing at RMB620 billion and new RMB loans decreasing by RMB10 billion. The largest recorded monthly declines in household and corporate loans were noted.
