Shares of KE Holdings Inc. (BEKE), a leading Chinese real estate services platform, soared 15.30% in pre-market trading on September 30, 2024, as investors cheered China's measures to revive the struggling property sector.
Over the weekend, the Chinese government announced a series of initiatives aimed at boosting the real estate market, which has been grappling with a liquidity crisis and slumping demand. The People's Bank of China announced that homeowners can renegotiate the terms of their mortgages, potentially lowering borrowing costs on up to $5.3 trillion in loans.
Additionally, major cities like Guangzhou, Shanghai, and Shenzhen eased restrictions on home purchases, allowing more buyers to enter the market and removing limits on the number of homes owned. These measures are expected to bolster housing demand and provide relief to the troubled real estate industry, benefiting companies like BEKE that offer real estate services.
