China market seems not happy about its central bank's MLF/SLO operation
BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China announced Wednesday it had injected CNY105.5 billion into 11 banks via its Medium-term Lending Facility. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 2015 - 05:50
BEIJING (MNI) - The People's Bank of China announced Wednesday it had injected CNY105.5 billion into 11 banks via its Medium-term Lending Facility.
The Chinese central bank said the interest rate of the six-month MLF remained unchanged at 3.35%.
The PBOC is widely expected to inject fresh liquidity into the banking system to compensate for capital outflows. A cut in banks' deposit reserve ratio is forecast to come as early as this weekend.
PBOC data showed that Chinese banks, including the PBOC itself, sold a net CNY761.3 billion worth of foreign currency in September, a record amount. Foreign currency sales are used as gauge to measure capital outflows.
Traders warned that Wednesday's injection via the MLF could complicate outlook for cut in banks' deposit reserve.
