币界网报道：China's central bank is preparing to cut interest rates as deflation risks loom, signaling potential monetary easing to stimulate the economy. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) may lower key policy rates amid slowing inflation and weak domestic demand. Analysts suggest the move aims to counter economic headwinds, including a property slump and subdued consumer spending. Market watchers anticipate rate reductions could come as early as this quarter, following recent liquidity injections by the PBOC. The potential policy shift comes as China's consumer prices showed minimal growth while factory-gate prices continued declining, raising concerns about deflationary pressures in the world's second-largest economy.
