PBOC stalls treasury bond buying citing short supply

The Chinese central bank’s declaration comes after repeated warnings of bubble risks in country’s red-hot bond market.

Market reaction

The Chinese Yuan has come under moderate selling pressure despite the above decision, with USD/CNY rising 0.25% on the day to near 7.3485 at press time.
