The market was taken aback by the news that the People's Bank of China (PBOC) cut the 7-day reverse repurchase rate by 10 basis points to 1.90% on Tuesday, 13th June 2023.
This was the first cut in the reverse repo rate since August 2022.
The cut was unexpected as most analysts had expected the PBOC to keep rates on hold until later this month and cut by 5 bps.
