SHANGHAI -- China's central bank on Tuesday cut its five-year mortgage benchmark by the biggest margin yet, as it aims to boost an economy weighed down by a distressed property sector and weak business confidence.
The People's Bank of China lowered the five-year rate to 3.95%, from 4.2%, marking the first reduction since last June.
