Some Chinese government bonds that the nation’s central bank bought last week are now being sold in the secondary market, traders said, a possible sign that authorities are once again intervening to curb the debt rally.
The 10-year special sovereign notes, which the People’s Bank of China purchased from primary dealers last week, were offered by financial institutions in batches including 50 million yuan ($7 million) and 100 million yuan, according to traders. At least one deal went though Thursday afternoon at the yield of 2.125%, said the traders, who asked not to be named as the information is private.
