8月14日，中国人民银行发布公告称，为保持银行体系流动性充裕，将于15日以固定数量、利率招标、 多重价位中标方式开展5000亿元6个月期（182天）买断式逆回购操作。 从资金到期情况看，8月分别有4000亿3个月期和5000亿6个月期买断式逆回购到期。央行通过两次操作 不仅完成对冲，还实现净投放，同时市场预计本月3000亿元MLF（中期借贷便利）到期后，央行也可 能加量续作。 展望后续，王青认为，短期内降准和恢复国债买卖的概率不大，央行更可能依赖MLF和买断式逆回购 等工具维持流动性充裕。整体来看，8月市场流动性不会延续7月下旬的收紧趋势，资金面将保持稳定充 裕。 对于政策意图，分析指出，央行持续加码中期流动性工具，一方面是为配合政府债券发行、缓解存单到 期压力，保持银行体系流动性充裕；另一方面释放了数量型货币政策工具持续加力的信号，强化逆周期 调节，推动宽信用进程。 （文章来源：第一财经） 中信证券首席经济学家明明认为，相较于6月、7月各2000亿元的买断式逆回购净投放规模，8月买断式 逆回购加量操作，叠加OMO（公开市场操作）虽持续净回笼但整体资金面宽松，释放了相对宽松的政 策信号。 东方金诚首席宏观分析 ...
