MNI: PBOC Injects CNY80 Bln via Open Market Operations

MNI (London)
     BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) injected CNY80 billion
via 7-day reverse repos Thursday, with the rate unchanged at 2.2%. This resulted
in a net injection of CNY10 billion given the CNY70 billion maturing, according
to Wind Information.
     - The injection aims to offset the impact of government bond issuance and
keep liquidity reasonable and ample, the PBOC said.
     - The 7-day weighted average interbank repo rate for depository
institutions (DR007) rose to 2.1519% at 0955 local time from the close of
1.9590% on Tuesday: Wind Information.
     - The CFETS-NEX money-market sentiment index closed at 38 on Wednesday vs
42 on Tuesday. A higher index indicates increased market expectations for
tighter liquidity.
