On March 13th, Matthias Scheiber, Senior Portfolio Manager at Allspring Global Investments, stated that the Federal Reserve is likely to keep interest rates unchanged next week. In a report, Scheiber said, "We believe there is a high probability that the Fed will not cut rates at all, but if energy prices continue to rise, we expect a negative ripple effect on consumer and business confidence." Scheiber noted that before the Middle East conflict, the US economy was projected to achieve approximately 2.5% real GDP growth. Considering the possibility of further fiscal stimulus and government debt to support the private sector before the midterm elections, Scheiber believes the Fed is willing to view the surge in energy prices as a temporary phenomenon and focus on economic growth.On March 13th, the overnight SHIBOR was 1.3210%, down 1.60 basis points; the 7-day SHIBOR was 1.4570%, down 0.80 basis points; the 14-day SHIBOR was 1.4950%, down 0.60 basis points; the 1-month SHIBOR was 1.5330%, down 0.20 basis points; and the 3-month SHIBOR was 1.5420%, down 0.40 basis points.On March 13th, the Sichuan Bureau organized a meeting to promote the pilot program for commercial real estate REITs in its jurisdiction.
