存款利率、LPR同日下调，专家表示有利于对冲外需放缓 稳定经济运行

Core Viewpoint - The LPR (Loan Prime Rate) was lowered in May after remaining unchanged for six months, aligning with market expectations. This adjustment is primarily due to the escalation of the US-China tariff conflict in April, necessitating increased counter-cyclical policy measures to stabilize economic operations [1]. Group 1: Economic Policy Implications - The reduction in the LPR is aimed at enhancing macroeconomic policy through increased domestic demand to offset the slowdown in external demand [1]. - Lowering the policy interest rate and guiding the LPR downward will lead to a more significant reduction in loan rates for businesses and households, thereby decreasing financing costs for the real economy [1]. - This move is a crucial step in promoting investment and consumption, addressing the high actual loan rates faced by enterprises and residents after accounting for price factors, and stimulating endogenous financing demand [1].
