What do you think of today's hot spots

The central bank's recent announcement of the "interest rate cut" decision greatly exceeded expectations and shocked the market. When the loan market ** interest rate (LPR) was released in February, the 1-year LPR was as stable as Mount Tai, remaining at 345%, but the LPR with a maturity of more than 5 years has been lowered by 25 basis points to 395%, the largest decline since the reform of the LPR formation mechanism in 2019. What are the deep-seated signals hidden in this major adjustment?

First of all, it is a shot in the arm for the real estate market. The sharp decline in LPR, which is the pricing benchmark for personal housing loans and medium and long-term loans to enterprises and institutions, has undoubtedly injected new vitality into the real estate market. The reduction of residents' mortgage interest expenses will directly boost residents' willingness and ability to consume housing, and is expected to open up a new situation for the steady development of the real estate market.

Second, it is also a firm support for confidence in the economic recovery. In the current economic situation, this move by the central bank undoubtedly sends a clear signal to the market: we will continue to increase financial support for the real economy, stimulate market vitality, and help economic recovery. This is not only a positive promotion of major national projects and infrastructure construction, but also an effective alleviation of local debt pressure.

However, the central bank's decision to "cut interest rates" is not an isolated event. Many analysts believe that there is room for further reductions in both lending rates and deposit rates. In the monetary policy implementation report for the fourth quarter of 2023, the central bank also repeatedly mentioned that it will continue to promote the market-oriented adjustment mechanism of deposit interest rates and reduce the comprehensive financing cost of society. This means that we may see lower deposit and lending rates, creating a more suitable monetary and financial environment for a sustained economic recovery.

So, how do we, as ordinary people, respond to this policy change? Will we seize the opportunity to increase investment, or will we stay on the sidelines and wait for more policies to be introduced? Welcome to leave your views and suggestions in the comment area, and let's work together to ** the deep impact behind the central bank's "interest rate cut".
