MNI: PBOC Skips OMOs Tuesday; Drains CNY130 Bln

     BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China skipped its open-market
operations on Tuesday, citing "moderate" liquidity in the banking system after
absorbing the impact of maturing reverse repos.
     This results in a net drain of CNY130 billion for the day, as a total
CNY130 billion in reverse repos matures on Tuesday. 
     Today is the 12th straight trading day that the PBOC skipped open market
operations.
     The CFETS-ICAP money-market sentiment index ended at 46 on Monday, up from
33 at Friday's close. A higher reading indicates reduced liquidity in the
interbank market.
     The benchmark seven-day repo average was last at 2.6500%, down from 2.6963%
on Monday.
