Repurchase agreements calm no end (5)
I believe the answer is:
repos
'repurchase agreements' is the definition.
'calm no end' is the wordplay.
'calm' becomes 'repose' (repose is a kind of calm).
'no end' means to remove the last letter.
'repose' with its final letter removed is 'REPOS'.
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
