China on Thursday kept its key lending rates unchanged for the sixth straight month in November, in line with market expectations.
The decision to hold key lending rates steady reflects reduced pressure on the central bank to provide further monetary easing following the trade truce between Beijing and Washington, despite October's economic data pointing to signs of a slowdown.
The key interest rate for one-year loans was kept at 3.0 percent, and the key interest rate for five-year loans remained unchanged at 3.5 percent.
