RBS analysts argue the People's Bank of China has stopped defending USD/CNY at 6.70 after the National Holiday. They say the yuan's move mainly reflects broad dollar strength rather than a policy shift.
The analysts note the PBoC is still slowing the yuan's decline by setting fixings slightly below the rule-implied level.
A weaker yuan with stable policy support can gradually reduce China's buying power for imported feed ingredients. Traders should watch whether the PBoC intervenes further if depreciation accelerates.
