MNI: PBOC Skips OMO, Liquidity Unchanged

     BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) skipped open market
operations (OMOs) on Thursday, leaving liquidity unchanged. No reverse repos

The central bank said the level of liquidity in the banking system is
"relatively high", enough to absorb the impact from the tax season, government
bond issuance and other factors.
  - The 7-day weighted average interbank repo average rate for depository
institutions (DR007) rose to 2.6500% at 9:25 a.m. local time from the close of
2.5862% Wednesday: Wind Information;
  - The CFETS-NEX money-market sentiment index closed at 36 on Wednesday, up
