The People's Bank of China opened the doors a little earlier today, saying (again!) they'd maintain reasonable liquidity and focus on deleveraging and reforms.

Those comments from an official, via Bloomberg. The official was unnamed so I guess they'll be followed up by 'fake news!' tweets during the commercial breaks on the telly. Or maybe not ;-)

OK, back to real news ...

  • The USD/CNY mid rate is the strongest for the yuan since October of last year

In open market operations the bank is

  • to inject 100bn yuan via 7 day reverse repos
  • to inject 40bn yuan through 14 day reverse repos

40bn yuan in RRs mature today, so a net injection of 100bn yuan. The PBOC OMOs on Monday and Tuesday were large injections, same again today.
