China's money-market rate touched its lowest level in almost two weeks on Wednesday, on speculation a decline in the redemption of reverse-repurchase contracts will increase the cash supply.
Some 253 billion yuan ($41 billion) of reverse-repo agreements will mature this week, compared with 269 billion yuan last week, according to data from China Merchants Bank Co. "The seven-day repo is falling because the redemption of reverse repos is declining and the month-end effect is totally over," said Liu Junyu, a Shenzhen-based bond analyst at China Merchants Bank, the nation's sixth-biggest lender.
