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.

Thailand's Q1 GDP data is expected to show slowed growth, with private consumption moderating and tourism revenue contracting. In Malaysia, inflation may rise to 1.9% due to higher fuel prices, while exports remain strong. Indonesia's central bank is likely to raise its policy rate by 25 basis points amid forex pressures, although a larger hike is deemed unlikely. A pause may occur if significant foreign currency bonds are issued.

The Indian rupee fell 0.2% to 95.94, nearing its record low, as oil prices remained above $100 per barrel. State-run banks' dollar sales provided some support. Brent oil prices rose to $107 per barrel amid U.S.-Iran tensions. India's petrol and diesel prices increased for the first time in four years.

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. The bank recommends a defensive strategy favoring the Big Four state-owned banks due to their stronger loan pipelines, while indicating deteriorating retail loan demand and a widening gap between M1 and M2 growth.
