MNI (Sydney)

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) injected CNY160 billion via 7-day reverse repos with the rate unchanged at 2.2% on Thursday. This resulted in a net drain of CNY40 billion given the maturity of CNY150 billion of reverse repos and CNY50 billion in treasury cash deposits at commercial banks, according to Wind Information.

  • The operation aims to keep liquidity reasonable and ample, the PBOC said on its website.
  • The 7-day weighted average interbank repo rate for depository institutions (DR007) rose to 2.2221% at 09:22 am local time from the close of 2.2052% on Wednesday: Wind Information.
  • The CFETS-NEX money-market sentiment index closed at 59 on Wednesday vs 43 on Tuesday. A higher index indicates increased market expectations for tighter liquidity.
