On June 17, 2024, the People's Bank of China continued its trend of reducing the Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) by 182 billion yuan, maintaining the interest rate at 2.5%. Goldman Sachs anticipates that the People's Bank will lower the deposit reserve requirement ratio by 25 basis points in the third quarter and cut interest rates by 10 basis points in the fourth quarter. They believe the urgency for a reserve cut has decreased due to lower-than-expected May monetary credit data and a further slowdown in the growth rates of narrow money supply (M1) and broad money supply (M2).

Market sentiment towards the Federal Reserve's (Fed) rate cut expectations cooled in the wake of the weekend of June 17, 2024, further supporting risk sentiment. According to Bank of America citing EPFR statistics, both investment-grade and non-investment-grade bonds maintained net inflows last week, although the momentum slowed compared to the previous week, with emerging market bonds seeing a net outflow. Overall, the bond market has seen 25 consecutive weeks of net buying, with a single-week net purchase of $10.29 billion, notably with US and European bonds leading the trend. The softer CPI data and ongoing robust employment have led some to expect two rate cuts by the Fed despite the slight uptick in US bond yields after the release of non-farm payrolls data. In the bond market, real estate mortgage-backed securities and municipal bonds have outperformed, while government bonds and inflation-linked bonds have shown weaker performance.

The Chinese Ministry of Commerce announced on June 17, 2024, that it is initiating an antidumping investigation on EU pork and related by-products, in response to the EU's punitive tariffs on Chinese electric cars. This move is seen as part of China's retaliation strategy, with potential future targets being dairy products. The investigation period for the pork imports is from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, and for industry damages from January 1, 2020, to December 31, 2023. If restrictions on European pork imports are imposed, European industries fear significant losses due to China being a valuable market for pork exports. There are concerns that China's countermeasures may escalate further, as seen with previous probes on brandy and potential future actions on dairy products. EU dairy exports to China were valued at around €1.7 billion last year. The tense trade relations between China and the EU continue to evolve, impacting various industries and raising concerns about further retaliatory actions.

The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics has created the 'New Salary Distribution Statistics,' aiming to show the percentage of people earning different monthly salaries to provide a more frequent and accurate reflection of the current situation compared to the annual median salary release. The challenge lies in accurately describing the data due to the statistical unit being based on workplaces instead of individual employees, leading to difficulties in wording. After much deliberation, it was concluded that using the phrase '68% of employees work in workplaces where the average monthly salary is below 50,000' was clearer. Simplifying the reporting process and aiming for better understanding among readers is emphasized, urging a move away from convoluted descriptions and towards more straightforward communication.

On June 17, 2024, at 4:10 PM, the Central Bank implemented real estate credit control measures for the sixth time. Hsinchun Real Estate Think Tank CEO He Shichang believes that this move will drive funds into non-regulated areas with science park themes, such as Miaoli, Chiayi, and Pingtung. The new measures are expected to have three major impacts on the property market: reducing loan-to-value ratios for second homes in specific areas, potentially leading to disputes during handovers; encouraging funds to move towards non-regulated areas with science park themes; and pushing second-home buyers towards the pre-sale market, benefiting pre-sale properties but not the existing home market. He warned that the Central Bank's increased reserve requirements may disadvantage small and medium-sized developers by diverting funds to larger developers.
