Liquidity conditions across China’s interbank market eased in October, as end-quarter MPA stress and Golden week sash needs fell away. The outlook for the economy picked up, helped by the mood music from the 20th Party Congress, the latest MNI liquidity conditions survey showed.

The Liquidity Condition Index, slid to 46.9 from September’s 59.4, with one quarter of the participants reporting a marginal loosening of liquidity conditions. The higher the index reading, the tighter liquidity appears to survey participants.
