SHANGHAI, Oct 18 (Reuters) - China stocks closed lower on Monday as data showed growth in the world’s second-largest economy hit a one-year low, while analysts did not expect an imminent broad monetary policy support. The blue-chip CSI300 index fell 1.2%, to 4,874.78, while the Shanghai Composite Index lost 0.1% to 3,568.14 points. ** China’s economy grew 4.9% in July-September from a year earlier, the weakest pace since the third quarter of 2020, hurt by power shortages, supply bottlenecks and sporadic COVID-19 outbreaks and rising heat on policymakers amid increasing jitters over the property sector. ** Despite slowing growth, policymakers signalled they have other ways to support growth. Some analysts toned down their expectations for further broad monetary policy support. ** “The PBoC may use instruments such as the medium-term lending facility (MLF), open market operations (OMO) and a newly introduced ‘green facility’ to keep liquidity conditions reasonably adequate in Q4,” Nomura said in a note, citing the liquidity support may not be in the form of an RRR cut. ** Real estate stocks fell over 2.5% on signs of a slowdown in the sector and even as the central bank said spillover effects from China Evergrande Group’s debt woes were controllable. ** “We see no major change to Beijing’s property curbs from the PBOC presser,” wrote Ting Lu, chief China economist at Nomura. ** A former government expert said China could widen property tax trial, after President Xi Jinping on Friday called for progress on the tax that could help reduce wealth inequality. ** Consumer staples stocks dropped over 3%, with liquor makers shedding 7.4%. ** Energy and coal stocks soared 4.7% and 5.9%, respectively. ** China’s coking coal and coke futures jumped to record highs as supply remains tight even though Beijing has ramped up efforts to boost output.
