    SHANGHAI (Reuters) -China's central bank unexpectedly cut a key interest rate for the second time this year and withdrew some cash from the banking system on Monday, to try to revive credit demand to support the COVID-hit economy. Economists and analysts said they believe Chinese authorities are keen to support the sluggish economy by allowing a widening policy divergence with other major economies that are raising interest rates aggressively. The People's Bank of China (PBOC) said it was lowering the rate on 400 billion yuan ($59.33 billion) of one-year medium-term lending facility (MLF) loans to some financial institutions by 10 basis points (bps) to 2.75%, from 2.85%.

It’s become axiom, even, one of the stock phrases that we all learn about in Econ 101: ‘Past performance does not guarantee future returns’ is common formulation. But that simple phrase, while true, raises a tough question: How should an investor judge a stock? The truth is, past is prologue, not prophet, and investors can profit by taking past performance as one of many factors in evaluating a s

  • Oil Falls After Weak Chinese Data

    Oil, industrial metals and other major commodities are off to a bad start this week after China's economic travails raised worries about the strength of demand for raw materials. Brent-crude prices are down almost 2%, copper is off by 1.8% and soybean futures are 2.3% lower. China consumes more than 15% of the world's oil and more than half of refined copper globally, so any slowdown in its resource-intensive economy tends to feed into lower commodity prices.
