China IRS Down After PBOC Injects Liquidity


China onshore IRS are lower after the PBOC injected CNY143 billion into the money market via reverse repo. The one-year IRS is 3 bps lower at 2.54%-2.64%, and the five-year IRS is down 3 bps at 2.77%-2.87%. "The market is generally steady as swaps have already priced-in around a 70% possible impact of further monetary easing in the near term," says a Shanghai-based foreign bank trader. The PBOC offered CNY105 billion worth of 14-day reverse repo and CNY38 billion worth of 7-day repo to ease tight liquidity conditions in the market. The market has high expectations that the PBOC will cut the reserve requirement ratio in the near term.
