China Bond Bulls Revived by Lowest Borrowing Costs Since 2020

The seven-day repo rate, a gauge of the short-term borrowing cost, dropped to 1.54% this week. It’s stayed below the central bank’s operating rate for reverse repo contracts since the start of April, the longest discount streak in two years.
