China's central bank on Thursday pumped 35 billion yuan (5.4 billion U.S. dollars) into the market.

The People's Bank of China (PBOC) put 85 billion yuan into seven-day reverse repos priced to yield 2.25 percent.

Reverse repos worth 50 billion yuan mature on Thursday, so the central bank has effectively injected 35 billion yuan into the market.
