China one year bond yield drops to 1%, first time in 15 years

China one year bond yield drops to 1%, first time since 2009.

Earlier today we had the 1- and 5-year rates set unchanged:

• PBOC sets 1 year Loan Prime Rate (LPR) at 3.1% and 5-year at 3.6%, both unchanged

No reduction despite ongoing easing pressure. The People’s Bank of China seems very concerned that further rate cuts would prompt further yuan weakness and capital flight.
