Peruās economy contracted in June, pushing the economy into a recession and bolstering expectations of an interest rate cut in the near future.

For a start, Reynolds writes, that scope "is rather less impressive when you realize the reduction in the rate on one-year PBOC loans ā or medium-term lending facility ā was all of 15 basis points. Most central banks faced with the sort of slowdown China is facing might well decide to cut by three times as much or more."
