IPC Index — Mexico MarketChina’s 10-year government bond yield fell to around 1.80% on Friday, approaching its lowest level in over a month, as demand for Chinese debt picked up. Banks have been ramping up purchases, supported by record liquidity injections from the People’s Bank of China and softening loan demand. The shift comes as Beijing seeks to cool the recent equity market rally, prompting investors to turn to the relative safety of government bonds. Regulatory changes have also supported buying, with authorities easing interest-rate risk measures earlier this year to align with global standards. Analysts expect the 10-year yield to trade between 1.7% and 2.1% in 2026, while supply of longer-dated bonds is anticipated to rise. Meanwhile, markets are eyeing upcoming PMI data, with both official and private surveys scheduled for release in the coming days.
