China's Politburo, the country's top decision-making body, signaled a shift towards a more accommodative monetary policy. This departure from the previous prudent stance is expected to stimulate the economy and support stock and property markets. The Politburo also pledged to boost domestic consumption and demand, indicating a potential increase in targeted stimulus measures. Investors are now awaiting the Central Economic Work Conference, scheduled to begin on Wednesday, for further details on China's economic plans. Analysts anticipate the conference to outline specific policy priorities and the annual growth target. Beyond China, market participants are closely monitoring the Reserve Bank of Australia's monetary policy decision, due later today. Meanwhile, China's November exports rose 6.7% YoY, down from 12.7% in October, signaling global demand concerns for Chinese goods and imports dropped 3.9% YoY in November, a sharper fall from October's 2.3% decline, underscoring economic pressures.
