China’s five major state-owned banks have adopted a slew of measures to ease the residential mortgage burden for individual borrowers affected by the COVID-19 epidemic.  These steps include postponing mortgage repayments, extending repayment periods, as well as deferring principal and interest repayments on housing loans, the banks told Xinhua. Bank of China has urged its branches to better meet the demand from regions severely hit by the epidemic, such as Jilin and Shanghai, and pledged more financial support for the key groups, including those who have temporarily lost their income due to the epidemic. China Construction Bank said it had deferred the repayments for about 1 million households by the end of March, involving over 430 billion yuan (about 67.55 billion U.S. dollars) worth of mortgages.

Eurozone bond yields rose on Friday as traders further ramped up bets on European Central Bank rate hikes this year. Minutes from the ECB’s latest policy meeting, which were more hawkish than expected, had already pushed yields higher after they were published on Thursday. Goldman Sachs, which had cut its call following the invasion of Ukraine, and Danske Bank now expect the ECB to deliver 25 basis-point hikes in both September and December. Expectations for rate hikes next year have also moved sharply higher. For example markets are betting rates will rise to around 1.15% in July 2023, up from around 0.95% at the start of the month.
