More Chinese banks cut rates

Earlier:

• Industrial and Commercial Bank of China cuts yuan deposit rates
• Chinese media speculate on a loan prime rate cut after banks reduced deposit rates

Bank Of China have cut yuan deposit rates also. Construction Bank too.

Others following along also.

Earlier this week I posted on 'requests' from Chinese authorities to cut rates:

But there is some head-kicking going on:

• China calls on biggest banks to cut deposit rates to bolster the economy
• China regulator reportedly asks major state-owned banks to lower dollar deposit rates
• Pressure on the People's Bank of China "to keep policy loose and supportive"

Note: 'calls on' and 'asks' means getting a kick in the head in China.
