有分析师测算，截至8月22日，央行中期流动性净投放总额已达6000亿元，是上月的两倍，也是2025年2月以来最大规模的中期流动性净投放。该分析师认 为，尽管上半年宏观经济运行稳中向好，但央行仍在延续支持性货币政策立场，通过持续实施中期流动性净投放释放政策信号。 对于后续市场走势，业内普遍认为央行将继续保持流动性合理充裕。央行后续可能继续通过加量续做MLF并结合买断式逆回购操作，向市场注入中期流动 性，市场利率上行空间有限。 根据8月22日公告，央行将于8月25日开展6000亿元MLF操作，实现净投放3000亿元，这是央行连续第六个月加量续做MLF。8月以来，央行通过多次逆回购 操作实现净投放，并开展MLF操作，持续向市场注入流动性。在中长期流动性方面，8月买断式逆回购和MLF净投放量均达到3000亿元，超过7月水平。操 作时点安排也更为灵活，8月买断式逆回购两个期限品种分别于月初和月中投放，MLF投放日也提前至到期日前，与7月集中于月中投放的模式形成对比。 Wind数据显示，本周逆回购到期分布较为均匀，8月25日至29日分别有2665亿元、5803亿元、6160亿元、2530亿元和3612亿元到期。 【环球网 ...
