China's central bank has kept its medium-term lending facility rate unchanged at 2.0% as the yuan faces pressure following Donald Trump's win in the U.S. presidential election. Experts anticipate the rate to decline gradually over the next few years.

China on Monday kept its medium-term lending rate steady, as the country's central bank seeks to stabilize the yuan which has come under pressure following Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election. Zhiwei Zhang, president and chief economist at Pinpoint Asset Management, expects the PBOC to hold off more rate cuts until the new U.S. administration takes office in January, which is expected to bring higher tariffs on Chinese exports.
The central bank would"walk one step at a time to assess the policy results," said Gary Ng, senior economist at Natixis, although China may want a weaker yuan to support exports, it will prefer"a gradual depreciation rather than a sudden shock."unchanged at 3.1% and 3.6%, respectively.
