MNI: PBOC Injects Net CNY150 Billion In OMOs Friday

     BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China injected CNY80 billion in
seven-day reverse repos and CNY70 billion in 28-day reverse repos via
open-market operations Friday, Wind Information, a Shanghai-based financial data
provider, said.
     This resulted in a net injection of CNY150 billion for the day, as no
reverse repos mature on Friday. 
     The PBOC has injected a net of CNY80 billion via its reverse repos this
week. 
     The PBOC injected CNY288 billion into the banking system via its
Medium-term Lending Facilities (MLF) on Thursday, and a total of CNY187 billion
in MLF loans will mature on Saturday. As a result, the PBOC will have injected a
net of CNY101 billion into the banking system via its MLF this week.
     The CFETS-ICAP money-market sentiment index ended at 46 on Thursday, down
from 48 at Wednesday's close. The lower the reading the better the liquidity
conditions in the interbank market.
     The PBOC is expected to make an official announcement on its official
website about this morning's OMO around 9:45a.m., Beijing time.
     The benchmark seven-day repo average was last at 2.7158%, compared with
2.8998% on Thursday.
