China State Council press conference at 0700 GMT on COVID – rumours on ending COVID zero

I posted on this a while back: Here’s an interesting item that suggests China may soon dump the COVID zero policy. AUD, NZD, oil, China shares are all getting excited: AUD and NZD are moving higher as China reopening chatter spreads. I can confirm now that there is indeed a news conference being given by the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council in China at 3pm local time in Beijing. 0700 GMT. Update on Chinese stocks:  Hong Kong’s Hang Seng is up 3.7%. Shanghai Composite is up 2%.
