Since the US Federal Reserve officially kicked off a rate-cutting cycle, analysts have weighed in to say that China and other Asian economies are likely to see more room to carry out easing policies and boost growth. The US Federal Reserve announced a cut of its benchmark borrowing rate by half a percentage point, bringing its range to between 4.75 and 5 per cent in light of the progress on inflation and the balance of risks.
