MNI: PBOC Skips Open Market Operations; Net Drains CNY180 Bln

     BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) skipped open market
operations for the fourth day on Monday, which led to a net liquidity drain of
CNY180 billion due to the maturity of reverse repos, according to Wind
Information. 
     - The total liquidity in the banking system is reasonable and ample, as
increased fiscal spending by month-end offset the maturity of reverse repos, the
PBOC said.
     - Also, CNY60 billion of Treasury's cash deposits at commercial banks
matured today, Wind Information said.
     - The 7-day weighted average interbank repo rate for depository
institutions (DR007) rose to 2.6129% at 9:49 a.m. local time from the weighted
average of 2.4194% on Friday: Wind Information.
     - The CFETS-NEX money-market sentiment index closed at 48 on Friday vs 46
on Thursday. A greater index indicates heightened market expectations for
tighter liquidity.
