Recently, the responsible person of the Employment Department of the National Development and Reform Commission answered reporters questions about the "Notice". The "Notice" puts forward 10 specific policy requirements from four aspects, including "expanding the coverage of basic medical insurance for college students", "consolidating and improving the level of medical security for college students", "strengthening diversified medical security for college students" and "doing a good job in the transfer and continuation of basic medical insurance relations for college students", mainly including: clarifying the task objectives of college students participation in insurance; creating convenient conditions for college students to participate in insurance; improving the incentive policy for college students to participate in insurance and pay premiums; improving the medical insurance treatment policy for college students; doing a good job in the filing management of college students medical treatment in other places; improving the medical assistance policy for college students; supporting social forces to provide precise assistance; giving full play to the role of various commercial insurances in supplementary security; doing a good job in the transfer and continuation of basic medical insurance relations for college students; and doing a good job in the connection of medical insurance benefits for college students.

Industry experts said that although the scale of MLF operations has dropped significantly, the central bank has not reduced medium-term liquidity injection, but replaced MLF with large-scale reverse repurchase. At the same time, a number of monetary policy tools are still working together to ensure that the capital market remains stable before and after the Spring Festival, supporting credit injection and government bond issuance at the beginning of the year.On January 25, Societe Generale said that we expect the European Central Bank to cut its key policy rate by 25 basis points at next weeks meeting, which will reduce the deposit rate to 2.75%. The market generally expects the bank to cut interest rates again in March, when new data and forecasts will help to frame the discussion about the neutral level. This did not prevent several members of the Governing Council from expressing a preference for continuing to cut interest rates to 2% at subsequent meetings, but this may be precautionary guidance ahead of potentially disruptive US trade policies. It is also possible that, especially if the data continues to show resilience as we expect, the ECB will feel the need to move to quarterly interest rate decisions after March. This will help it better understand how the economy is developing and where the neutral may be. At present, we expect the ECB to cut interest rates again in April, with a terminal rate of 2.25%.

The Hang Seng Index, ASX 200, and Nikkei 225 all saw a gloomy morning session.


This morning, there were no economic indications to take into account for investors. Investors have to think about central bank monetary policy aims in the absence of statistics.


The US and sub-component data for Michigan Consumer Sentiment indicated a more hawkish Fed policy stance. According to preliminary data, the Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index increased in February from 64.9 to 66.4. Interest was also generated by the sub-components, with the Michigan Inflation Expectations Index rising from 3.9% to 4.2%.


The markets received a warning from Friday's Inflation Expectations Index as investors anticipated the US CPI Report on Tuesday. The Fed's rate-hawks would have the power to raise interest rates over 5% in the event of an unanticipated increase in the US annual inflation rate.
