China Bond Trading Collapses Amid PBOC Crackdown on Record Rally

August 23, 2024--China's attempts to cool a record bond rally have stalled a drop in yields, but at the cost of a collapse in trading activity to an extent that may create more headaches for policymakers.

Trading in the most active 10-year government bond has steadily decreased over the last two weeks, with the average daily volume on Wednesday and Thursday some 90% below the average of August 7th and 8th, according to data from the official trading system CFETS.

The volume slump comes as Beijing ramps up measures to crack down on speculation in longer-dated bonds, including a warning this week against "illegal" trading.
