The Li Keqiang Index has a strong correlation to the state of China&#8217;s industrial economy and to prices of many natural resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"figure-1-wti-tends-to-track-growth-in-china-but-with-a-lag-of-12-months-\">Figure 1: WTI tends to track growth in China but with a lag of 12 months<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig01.jpg\" alt=\"WTI tends to track growth in China but with a lag of 12 months\" class=\"wp-image-198921 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig01.jpg 940w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig01-700x447.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig01-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig01-768x490.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; aspect-ratio: 940\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Bloomberg Professional (USCRWTIC and CLKQINDX) <strong>&#8211; Past performance is not indicative of future results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s a similar story for aluminum and for copper, although these two industrial metals sometimes respond to changes in the pace of Chinese growth more quickly than crude oil (Figures 2 and 3).

Oil prices rose from below $40 per barrel to above $110. Copper prices rose from $1.30 per lb to over $4.60. The prices of most agricultural goods roughly doubled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2009 stimulus differed in key aspects from the current one. First, it was much larger as a share of GDP. Between 2009 and 2010, non-financial corporate debt rose by 35% of GDP as the government encouraged a massive infrastructure building program (Figure 8). Thus far, the announced stimulus measures amount to about 3.6% of GDP, making it about one-tenth the size of the 2009-10 effort relative to the size of the economy.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"figure-8-china\u2019s-2009-stimulus-was-large-and-occurred-in-a-relatively-low-debt-environment\">Figure 8: China\u2019s 2009 stimulus was large and occurred in a relatively low-debt environment<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig08.jpg\" alt=\"China\u2019s 2009 stimulus was large and occurred in a relatively low-debt environment\" class=\"wp-image-198928 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig08.jpg 940w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig08-700x447.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig08-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig08-768x490.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; aspect-ratio: 940\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Bank for International Settlements, Total Credit to the Non-Financial Sector Database (Q:CN:H:A:M:770:A, Q:CN:N:A:M:770:A, Q:CN:N:A:M:770:A) <strong>&#8211; Past performance is not indicative of future results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Second, the 2009-10 stimulus was meant to deal with the global financial crisis, which was exogenous to China. By contrast, the current stimulus is meant to deal with the endogenous problems of falling real estate prices, reduced consumer confidence and spending, weak finances on the part of local governments and property developers, and undercapitalized lenders.

When the 2009-10 stimulus measures came into effect, the overall debt ratio was close to 140% of Chinese GDP \u2013 much lower than in Europe or the U.S. Today, China\u2019s non-financial (or non-bank) leverage ratio is close to 300% of GDP, higher than in Europe or the U.S. (Figure 10). When debt ratios are low, additional borrowing can quickly add to the investment and spending components of GDP. By contrast, when debt ratios are high, additional borrowing often serves to refinance the existing stock of debt rather than add to the investment or spending components of GDP. Indeed, that seems very much the case with the existing stimulus proposals: allowing local governments to issue bonds to consolidate the debt of property developers onto their books and adding to the national public debt to boost the capital of the nation\u2019s largest banks. This closely resembles what countries like the U.S., Ireland and Spain did in the 2008-2010 period. While such measures halted the economic downturn, they didn\u2019t produce a particularly strong economic recovery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"figure-10-china\u2019s-non-financial-non-bank-sector-is-highly-leveraged\">Figure 10: China\u2019s non-financial (non-bank) sector is highly leveraged<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig10.jpg\" alt=\"China\u2019s non-financial (non-bank) sector is highly leveraged\" class=\"wp-image-198930 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig10.jpg 940w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig10-700x447.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig10-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig10-768x490.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; aspect-ratio: 940\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Bank for International Settlements, Total Credit to the Non-Financial Sector Database <strong>&#8211; Past performance is not indicative of future results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, there is the issue of interest rates. While it is true that the PBOC has been cutting interest rates, it\u2019s equally true that China\u2019s core inflation rate has been falling. In fact, the gap between the PBOC\u2019s policy rate and core inflation, which has been relatively stable over the past few years, is wider than it was at times in the past (Figure 11). This suggests that real rates in China have not in fact fallen and that monetary policy is China is not particularly easy for the moment. Giving a larger boost through monetary policy might require rates to move much closer to zero, but near-zero rates in China might also create pressures for capital flight and a weaker yuan which might make the PBOC reluctant to ease policy too much too soon. A sharply weaker yuan could fuel a protectionist backlash against China.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"figure-11-pboc-policy-rates-remain-high-relative-to-core-inflation\">Figure 11: PBOC policy rates remain high relative to core inflation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"940\" height=\"600\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.interactivebrokers.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig11.jpg\" alt=\"PBOC policy rates remain high relative to core inflation\" class=\"wp-image-198931 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig11.jpg 940w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig11-700x447.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig11-300x191.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.eu\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/10\/can-chinas-stimulus-boost-commodities-like-in-2009-fig11-768x490.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 940px) 100vw, 940px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 940px; aspect-ratio: 940\/600;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Source: Bloomberg Professional (CHLLM1YR, PBOC7P, CNDR1Y, CNCPCRY) <strong>&#8211; Past performance is not indicative of future results.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A large part of the reason why commodity prices have been depressed despite conflicts in the Middle East and war between Russia and Ukraine is the weakness of Chinese demand growth. If China manages to halt or reverse the slowdown in its growth rate, the world could wind up with higher commodity prices. That said, the jury is still out on the degree to which China\u2019s latest stimulus will boost growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Can China&#8217;s Stimulus Boost
