China Holds 1-Year LPR, Cuts Again Mortgage Reference Rate
The PBoC held steady its key rates for corporate and household loans at May fixing, but slashed the mortgage reference rate for the second time this year, amid a slowdown in the Chinese economy due to worst virus outbreak in over two years, a property crisis, and weak loan demand. The one-year LPR was maintained at 3.7% after two cuts in December and January, while the five-year LPR was trimmed by 15 bps, the most since 2019, to 4.45%.
UK Retail Sales Unexpectedly Rise in April
Retail sales in the UK unexpectedly rose 1.4% mom in April of 2022, rebounding from falls in the previous two months and beating market forecasts of a 0.2% fall. Increases were seen in sales at food store (2.8%), namely alcohol and tobacco in supermarkets; non-store retailers (3.7%), namely clothing; and automotive fuel (1.4%). On the other hand, supermarket food sales were broadly unchanged and sales at non-food stores fell by 0.6% in April, mainly due to household goods stores (-0.5%) such as furniture stores. Excluding fuel, retail sales were also 1.4% higher. Considering the three months to April however, retail sales fell 0.3%, and the outlook for consumer spending remains subdued as high inflation is hurting the purchasing power.

European Futures In the Green to End the Week
European futures gained nearly 1%, tracking a general positive mood, after the PBoC cut its five-year loan prime rate by a record 15bps to support the economy. Still, investors remain concerned over global growth outlook and the recession risk arising from surging inflation and rising borrowing costs. On the data front, producer inflation in Germany broke a fresh record high for a 5th month and the consumer confidence in the UK fell to its lowest level in at least 48 years although retail sales unexpectedly jumped. Meanwhile on the corporate front, net profit and sales from Richemont were strong prompted by American demand.

Gold Heads for First Weekly Gain in Five
Gold held its recent advance to around $1,840 an ounce on Friday and was headed for its first weekly gain since mid-April, as continued softness in US economic data amid the Federal Reserve’s aggressive monetary tightening fueled growth concerns. The Fed has raised its benchmark policy rate by an aggregate of 75 basis points this year, and is on track to increase it again in 50-basis point increments at each of the next two meetings in June and July. Fed Chair Jerome Powell also stated that the central bank was intent on using its tools to bring down multi-decade high inflation even if it involves moving past broadly understood neutral levels, raising the risk of a recession. Fears of a US economic slowdown dragged the dollar and US Treasury yields lower, benefitting the safe-haven gold.
