It seems this is th n-th time that Bloomberg is speculating about the Chinese Rate Hike. Everytime economic data are due from the other side of the Big Wall, all sirens break loose in the west! Give us a break Bloomberg et al.!
My opinion? They will raise the rates whenever they will feel like it, not a moment sooner not a moment later. Till then, we ask that Bloomberg spares us with the Hoodoo Voodoo crap and find another niche to play.
By the way Sean, be more careful in the future when you use the S word (Speculate) , i think it is illegal in the west these days and men in black might appear on a beach near you….
