- The lesser used 14-day repo rate was cut from 1.95% to 1.85%.
- Following the cut of the widely used 7-day repo rate in July to 1.7% today is merely a policy adjustment to reflect other policy initiatives.
- The 14-day repo rate is typically only used when the maturity for 7-day repo falls on a holiday.
- Whilst seemingly insignificant, it could amount to an indication that the PBOC is aligning existing policies in anticipation of further moves ahead.
