Funding Rates Within Ranges

CHINA RATES

Building on the earlier point about liquidity tightness into year end, with upward pressure already evident on the 7-day repo rate, the chart below shows clear convergence between the 7-day repo rate, the 7-day funding rate and its 20-day moving average. As previously mentioned HSBC expects the PBOC will monitor liquidity and adjust OMO's to keep the 7-day funding rate within a band of 2.05%-2.30%. China Securities Journal, a state owned publication, earlier ran headlines saying the PBOC would take measures to ensure liquidity is stable in April.
