| ◆ Chinese authorities pledged to use all monetary policy tools to ensure liquidity remains ample and prevent contagion amid the virus outbreak in Wuhan, which has so far claimed 361 lives.
◆ China’s central bank cut reverse repo rates and injected massive liquidity worth a hefty 1.2 trillion yuan into markets to help support them and to support an economy beginning to be impacted by the coronavirus outbreak. ◆ The risk of a deepening slowdown of the Chinese economy and then the global economy is high and the virus looks like it may be the straw that breaks the camel’s back.
