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.

The recent summit between U.S. President Trump and China's Xi Jinping aimed to ease geopolitical risks but yielded no significant breakthroughs on trade or the Iran conflict. While the summit may stabilize investor perceptions, concerns linger over China's economic slowdown and ongoing Middle East tensions. The Chinese yuan weakened, and market reactions were muted, reflecting cautious investor sentiment. Analysts suggest that without clear progress on key issues, the summit may be viewed as a non-event, potentially impacting oil prices and inflation expectations.

Analysis-Investors bet on stability after Trump-Xi summit as Iran war concerns linger

YANG

China's thermal-power generation increased by 3.1% in April, despite a 1% decline in coal production, as the country faces energy challenges due to the Iran war. Domestic thermal coal prices rose 23% this year, prompting power plants to stock up for summer demand. However, renewable energy sources like wind and nuclear saw decreased output, raising concerns about the country's energy transition. The government may consider price caps if coal prices continue to rise.

China's consumer spending and factory output grew at their slowest pace in years, with retail sales increasing by just 0.2% in April, missing forecasts. Industrial production rose 4.1% year-on-year, the slowest since July 2023. Analysts warn of a bifurcated growth model, with weak domestic demand and strong exports. Despite challenges, some experts believe China's economy will remain resilient this year, supported by external demand and a recovering electronics sector.

- In April, China's retail sales grew by only 0.2%, the weakest increase since December 2022, highlighting challenges in boosting domestic activity.  
- Industrial production also fell short of expectations, rising just 4.1% year-over-year, with economists stressing the ongoing imbalance of strong supply and weak demand.  
- Despite domestic consumption struggles, exports surged, contributing significantly to the economy, as China aims for a growth target of 4.5% to 5% this year.
