Core Viewpoint - The People's Bank of China (PBOC) will conduct a 10 trillion yuan reverse repurchase operation on February 13, 2026, to maintain ample liquidity in the banking system [1]. Group 1: Reverse Repo Operations - The PBOC's operation will be a fixed quantity, interest rate bidding, and multi-price bidding method with a term of 6 months (182 days) [1]. - In February, 5 trillion yuan of 6-month reverse repos are set to mature, making the new operation an increase of 5 trillion yuan, marking the sixth consecutive month of increased reverse repos [5]. - The total net injection of liquidity through reverse repos in February will be 6 trillion yuan, which is an increase of 3 trillion yuan compared to the previous month, indicating a continued effort to inject medium-term liquidity into the market [5]. Group 2: Market Analysis - The increase in reverse repo operations signals a heightened demand for liquidity in February, particularly due to concentrated bank credit issuance and increased cash withdrawals before the Spring Festival [5]. - Analysts suggest that the PBOC's actions reflect a commitment to maintaining liquidity and stabilizing the financial market [5]. - There is a possibility of further operations, including the potential for equal or slightly increased amounts of Medium-term Lending Facility (MLF) as 3 trillion yuan of MLF is also set to mature in February [5]. Group 3: Monetary Policy Outlook - The increase in net reverse repo injections reduces the likelihood of a reserve requirement ratio (RRR) cut in the near term, especially before the Spring Festival [6]. - Despite the current liquidity measures, the option for a comprehensive RRR cut remains available, as the current weighted average reserve requirement ratio is 6.3%, indicating some room for adjustment [6].
