2.The Supplementary reduction in deposit interest rates of small and medium-sized banks collectively may face further downward in the future
Since April, many counties, including Guangdong, Hubei, Shaanxi, Henan, etc, has announced that they will reduce the interest rate of CNY deposit, which will make an impact on different adjustment on different period of maturities including demand deposit, time deposit, certificates of deposit and so on. Experts interviewed indicate that in the context of the overall downward market interest rates, large state-owned banks and some joint-stock banks have lowered deposit interest rates since last year. The new adjustment can be viewed as a “follow-up ” of those small and medium-sized banks and is a market-oriented pricing behavior to reduce the cost of debts.

1. Central London house prices suffer the biggest drop since 2019
According to the Financial Times, house prices in central London, England, fell nearly 5% from last March, the biggest annual drop in 3 and a half years. Last month, house prices in prime London fell to £1,261 per square foot from £1,326 compared to the price from a year ago, and reached the lowest level since mid-2021, according to data provider LonRes. "The market has lost momentum and the prices were a bit inflated last year," said LonRes managing director Anthony Payne. He also indicates that Property values in high-end areas of London tend to be less susceptible to the recent rise in mortgage costs, as the market relies on cash-rich foreign buyers. But buyers have become more cautious due to concerns about multiple factors, including the economic outlook and rising interest rates, fearing that prices could still fall further.
2.German cabinet approves bill to phase out oil and gas heating systems
According to the German economy minister, Germany's cabinet on Wednesday approved a bill to prohibit major new oil and gas heating systems from 2024. This policy aims at reducing greenhouse gas emissions but critics warn could be costly for poorer households. Berlin's ruling coalition agreed last month that nearly all new heating systems installed in Germany should use 65 percent renewable energy from 2024, both in old and new buildings. Germany's construction industry emitted 112 million tons of greenhouse gases last year, accounting for 15 percent of the country's emissions.
Eurostat announced on Wednesday that Eurozone inflation slowed last month, but underlying inflation remained at a high level, confirming the European Central Bank's (ECB) concerns about continued price pressures. The consumer price index (CPI) in the 20-nation eurozone fell to 6.9 percent from 8.5 percent, mainly due to rapidly falling energy costs. However, ECB policymakers are now beginning to worry that high energy costs have permeated through the broader economy and are affecting everything from services to wages, making inflation more difficult to control. Indeed, inflation excluding unprocessed food and fuel rose from 7.4% to 7.5%, while inflation excluding alcohol and tobacco rose from 5.6% to 5.7%, in line with preliminary data. Although the ECB has raised interest rates by a record 350 basis points since last July, the continued high core inflation data is precisely why most ECB policymakers have said they need to continue to raise rates. For now, the market tends to expect modest growth from ECB, but investors still believe that ECB has a one-third chance of hiking rates.
