BoE weekly repo 13B

(UK) BOE ALLOCATES £13.71B IN WEEKLY REPO OPERATION; RECEIVED £50.04B IN TOTAL BIDS

The market seemed to wait for this repo data today and once it received the data it ran quite fast. The repos represent adding liquidity to the system vs reverse repos which pull liquidity out of the system.

Does anyone know where to find a schedule for repos or a head's up prior to their release? If I had been in the market ahead of this release I would either be laughing frantically or fairly upset.

No idea where to get a schedule but you can hear them announced all but live (along with other FX & stock news releases) at

Thanks. I've tried to contact Ransquawk to begin trial but never received a reply to begin service. This is great news that they cover such things.

Thanks again,

No Probs,

Forgot to mention its free (30 ish second delay from the paid up live feed)


I'm guessing these specific repo offers come under the category of emergency measures, so dont have a schedule.

You usually get a heads up on ransquawk that they're about to anounce them about 1 hr to 30 mins before it hits the fan.

Great information being dispensed here. I appreciate it.

I'm reading up on RANsquawk again and I've turned on their free service which is better than TTN paid which I have.

As I read other people's reviews of RAN I'm finding people prefer another service; someone named Tommy in house at Marex. Since he's in house at Marex we can't get access to him but perhaps someone rebroadcasts his squawk over trading rooms or something similar.

Not heard of that one, but I've been happy with RAN - after all cant complain since its free.

On the whole its reliable though it does flake out sometimes and most NFP releases dont come over the free retail line (drops out about 1 min before) - not that this really bothers me as I dont trade the NFP spike, and I know the figures by other means (FF) well before Im happy to place a trade.

I hear they do a discount subscription for a 10+ group booking for their live feed but I'm not sure its something I need. I dont like the low liquidity (and price whips) of major releases and minor news doesnt matter if its 30 seconds late.

The one thing I do like about it is that you get the heads up / run down well before the figures hit so if you're in a trade - (and not paying enough attention to FF calendar) you get the reminder and can decide if you want to ride it out or not well before the figures hit.

It has been good in the recent turmoil with regard to stocks & index news too. I've picked up a fair few yen trades off the back of the index squawks that I doubt I'd have taken (or been paying attention to) otherwise.

I think this is what you're looking for

They usually announce them some time before, but it depends on operation-type. The general rule is when a operation expires (maturity date) another one is launch.
