MNI China Liquidity Index™ – Tightens to 60.5 in June

China’s interbank market liquidity tightened for a fourth straight month in June, as the People’s Bank of China’s end-H1 macro-prudential assessment (MPA) saw banks hoard funds. Economic sentiment continued to decline, with traders still concerned over sluggish data from real estate, exports and consumption, the latest MNI Liquidity Conditions Index shows.

-- The MNI China Liquidity Condition Index climbed up to 60.5 in June, up from 55.3 in May, with 39.5% of the traders reporting tighter conditions.

-- The MNI China Economy Condition Index reached 48.7 in June, down from 53.9 in May, the fourth month of consecutive decline, with a third of participants seeing a deterioration in conditions.

-- The MNI China PBOC Policy Bias Index stood at 38.2, down from 40.8, with three-quarters of traders surveyed believing the policy stance would be maintained.

-- The MNI China Guidance Clarity Index reached 57.9 in June, up from 56.6 previously, with 84.2% of the participants understanding the PBOC’s communication well.

The MNI survey collected the opinions of 38 traders with financial institutions operating in China's interbank market, the country's main platform for trading fixed income and currency instruments, and the main funding source for financial institutions. Interviews were conducted June 12 – June 23. Click below for the full press release:
