In a document published on the central government’s website late on Sunday, Beijing said it would step up a policy of targeted cuts to banks’ required reserve ratios to encourage financing for small and medium-sized businesses.

The European Central Bank will update the market on Wednesday, the same day as a crucial EU summit on Brexit, while China and the EU will hold a summit on trade on Tuesday. “Q1 will definitely not be a good quarter for corporates, and it might well be that the market turns back to fundamentals whereas a lot of hope on China/US trade deals and developments on the interest-rate front had driven markets up year-to-date,” said DWS' Weidenbach.
