Chinese stocks in the U.S. market fell despite the People's Bank of China cutting the five-year prime loan rate by 25 basis points to 3.95% to support the real estate sector. The iShares China Large-Cap ETF and the iShares MSCI Hong Kong ETF saw declines, as did major Chinese companies like JD.com, Nio, Baidu, Alibaba, and PDD Holdings.
