Free AccessMNI China Daily Summary: Wednesday, July 5
LIQUIDITY: The People's Bank of China (PBOC) conducted CNY2 billion via 7-day reverse repos on Wednesday, with the rates at 1.90%. The operation has led to a net drain of CNY212 billion after offsetting the maturity of CNY214 billion reverse repo today, according to Wind Information. The operation aims to keep banking system liquidity reasonable and ample, the PBOC said on its website.
RATES: The seven-day weighted average interbank repo rate for depository institutions (DR007) increased to 1.7842% from 1.7323%, Wind Information showed. The overnight repo average decreased to 1.1161% from the previous 1.1801%.
YUAN: The currency weakened to 7.2444 against the dollar from 7.2161 on Tuesday. The PBOC set the dollar-yuan central parity rate lower at 7.1968 on Wednesday, compared with 7.2046 set on Tuesday.
BONDS: The yield on 10-year China Government Bonds was last at 2.7210%, down from Tuesday's close of 2.7225%, according to Wind Information.

FROM THE PRESS: China will promote the use of local currency trade settlement among members of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), according to President Xi Jinping. Speaking at the SCO summit, Xi said members should focus on practical cooperation to accelerate the economic recovery, oppose protectionism and resist decoupling. China will strengthen the high-quality connections of the Belt and Road Initiative and ensure stability and smoothness in the regional industrial supply chain. Xi said Beijing wants to expand cooperation on sovereign digital currencies and promote the establishment of an SCO development bank. (Source: Yicai)
China's top state-owned banks are offering local government financing vehicles (LGFVs) loans with ultra-long maturities and temporary interest relief to prevent a credit crunch, reported Guru Club, a financial publisher citing anonymous sources. Banks including the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China and China Construction Bank have started to ramp up loans that mature in 25 years to qualified LGFVs in recent months, compared to the prevailing 10-year tenor for most corporate lending. Some loans have interest or principal payments waived for the first four years, though the interest will accrue later, the source said. (Source: Guru Club)
Overseas portfolio investors short the yuan have increased their CNY holdings, as weakness in the currency failed to trigger a phased outflow of capital. Strong overseas demand for yuan bonds amid the sluggish global economic recovery and CNY's depreciation has made yuan assets more attractive, according to a Hong Kong private equity fund manager. Swap Connect also facilitates overseas investors holding domestic yuan bonds, as they do not need to reduce their holdings due to the widening China-U.S. interest-rate spread, the manager said. The net purchase of domestic bonds by foreign investors in June continued from May's relatively high level, while fx settlement and sales showed higher surplus than the previous month.
