Key Quotes
“The PBoC did not pre-emptively grant MLF, breaking the recent pattern of their operations. We do expect the PBoC to roll over the MLF that matures later this month and do not foresee any liquidity squeeze around year-end as the central bank has a number of tools to be deployed. USD/CNY is likely to remain in the 6.60-6.65 range given stable liquidity and capital flow conditions.”
