Rising factor

1. The 25th meeting of the Financial Stability and Development Board of the State Council

First, we should step up the implementation of macro policies, make prudent monetary policies more flexible and appropriate, and put support for the resumption and development of the real economy in a more prominent position. Second, we should guide credit resources to support more small and medium-sized enterprises and private enterprises that have been hit hard by the epidemic. Third, we should give full play to the pivotal role of the capital market, constantly strengthen the building of basic systems, resolutely crack down on all kinds of counterfeiting and fraud, relax and abolish controls that do not meet the needs of development, and enhance market activity. Fourth, we should take a variety of effective ways to increase the capital replenishment of small and medium-sized banks and enhance their ability to resist risks and put in credit. Fifth, attach great importance to the international epidemic situation and the economic and financial situation, and prevent the transmission of overseas risks to China.

2. Multiple agencies expect financial data to pick up significantly in March on a month-on-month basis

Financial data are about to be released in March. According to a number of forecast analysis reports recently released by a number of institutions, most institutions expect that with the gradual weakening of the impact of the epidemic, the gradual resumption of work and production, and the gradual strengthening of macro policies, the scale of new RMB loans and new social financing in March will be significantly higher than in February. Most institutions expect new renminbi loans to be around 2 trillion yuan in March and more than 3 trillion yuan in new social financing.

3. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, the National Development and Reform Commission and other departments have recently made intensive arrangements to ensure the high quality of the manufacturing industry.

Increasing and stabilizing investment is the key to hedging the impact of the epidemic and promoting economic growth. At present, both new and old infrastructure projects are in full swing, and the construction of major industrial projects is full of vigor. Among them, advanced manufacturing with multiplier effect has been given priority in the layout of advanced manufacturing, which has the common benefit of supply and demand. It is worth noting that the high-quality development of the manufacturing industry is being strongly promoted in a new round, and many departments, such as the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Commerce, and the National Development and Reform Commission, have made intensive deployments in recent days to release greater support signals.

Australia Reviews Anti-Dumping Duties on Galvanized Steel from India, Malaysia, Vietnam Amid Zinc Concerns
On September 9, 2026, Australia initiated its second sunset review of anti-dumping measures on galvanized steel sheet from India, Malaysia and Vietnam, and separately launched a sunset review of countervailing measures on imports from India. The review covers July 2025-June 2026, with the final report expected by February 11, 2027. As galvanized steel is the largest end-use sector for zinc, the measures directly affect export costs and competitiveness, potentially impacting Australia’s domestic zinc demand and supply chain. Maintaining the duties would provide some protection for domestic steel and coating capacity, while termination could increase low-priced imports and affect regional zinc consumption. The final outcome remains subject to the authorities’ determination.
