3. SHANGHAI STOCKS RISE AS PBOC HOLDS RATES STEADY

央行维持利率稳定，股市上涨

Stock markets rose on the Chinese Mainland and in Hong Kong today as sentiment shifted. Timothy Pope has a look at the day's trading action around the region.

随着市场变化，中国内地和香港股市今日上涨。记者Timothy Pope来介绍当天的市场交易情况。

Chinese mainland markets were on the rise today. The People's Bank of China's decision to hold the benchmark interest rates - the LPR - steady was in line with market expecations. The Shanghai Composite and Shenzhen Component each advanced a little less than half of one percent.

今天，中国内地股市上涨。央行决定维持基准利率不变，符合市场预期。上证指数和深证成指分别上涨了不到半个百分点。

The rates move saw major banking stocks advancing cautiously. ICBC - China's biggest lender - rose 0.6 percent, while China's Merchants Bank was up 0.8 percent as rate cuts would impact their bottom lines.

主要的银行股在利率变动中略微上扬。中国最大的银行——中国工商银行上涨了0.6%，而中国招商银行上涨了0.8%，因为降息将影响它们的底线。

Oil stocks also gained after media reports that OPEC+ is considering making further cuts to supplies in order to keep prices up. Crude prices extended their run of gains and PetroChina added almost 1 percent, Sinopec was up as well.

在媒体报道欧佩克+正在考虑进一步削减供应以维持油价之后，石油股也有所上涨。原油价格延续涨势，中国石油上涨近1%，中国石化也有所上涨。

There was also a general boost to sentiment from investor perceptions of tensions easing following the meeting between the Chinese and US presidents last week. That may have helped turn the tide in foriegn investment into the Chinese stock markets. Earlier today there was a net inflow of funds via the stock connect links after several weeks of net outflows.

上周中美元首会晤后，投资者都认为紧张局势有所缓解，这也普遍提振了市场情绪。这可能有助于扭转外国投资进入中国股市的趋势。在连续几周的资金净流出之后，今天早些时候通过股票联通的资金出现了净流入。

Markets in Hong Kong also rose, benefitting from the general change in sentiment.

香港股市也因受到影响而上涨。

The Hang Seng was up 1.9 percent.

恒生指数上涨了1.9%。

It was announced today that two new companies will be added to the Hang Seng in the next couple of weeks. The drug maker Wuxi AppTec, and the EV maker Li Auto. Both of those stocks rose in anticipation【期待】of their entry to the benchmark index, which is scheduled for December 4th. Both have shown strong performance so far this year - particularly Li Auto, which is up 105 percent.

今日有消息称，未来几周内将有两家新公司加入港股。一家是药企药明康德，另一家是电动汽车企业理想汽车。这两只股票都因预计将于12月4日加入而上涨。迄今为止，这两只股票都表现强劲，尤其是理想汽车，涨幅高达105%。

Shares in property developer Sunac jumped 5.9 percent as the company's 9 billion US dollar offshore debt restructuring formally got underway. The company won approval from a Hong Kong court for the plan back in August, and it will see debts swapped intoconvertible【可转换的】bonds backed by its Hong Kong listed shares. This is a good sign for the Chinese property sector as Sunac is one of the few distressed developers to strike a working deal with offshore creditors.

房地产开发商融创的股价大涨5.9%，因为该公司90亿美元的海外债务重组正式启动。该公司早在8月份就获得了香港法院对该计划的批准，债务将被转换成由香港上市股票支持的可转换债券。这对中国房地产行业来说是一个好兆头，因为融创是少数几家与海外债权人达成工作协议的受困开发商之一。

In Japan, the Nikkei 225 hit a fresh 33 year high in early trade today before reversing course and closing lower. The Index was down 0.6 percent by the end of the session.

在日本，日经225指数今天早盘创下33年来新高，随后反转并收低。截至收盘，其下跌 0.6%。
