Thanks to the central bank's injection of medium - and long - term liquidity, the DR series declined, with the overnight rate running below the policy rate. The spread between the 7 - day rate and the policy rate narrowed to less than 10bp. Due to quarter - end needs, the 14 - day funding rate increased marginally. The R series showed a similar trend to the DR series, and the liquidity stratification remained at a low level. Overall, the funding situation showed a pattern of "increasing volume and decreasing price" this week, with a marginal tightening feeling on Thursday and Friday. After the central bank's intervention, the overall feeling was balanced [17]. 3.1.2 CD Review - In the primary market, during the statistical period, the net financing scale of inter - bank CDs was 8.068 billion yuan, with a total issuance of 110.232 billion yuan and a maturity of 102.164 billion yuan.

However, the central bank immediately switched to net injection to support the funding situation. On Friday, the 7 - day funding rate returned to a low level, and DR007 dropped below 1.50%.
