Westpac analyst Frances Cheung says the next driver for the yuan is US-China trade headlines now that the FOMC meeting is over. Treasury Secretary Mnuchin said FX was part of trade discussions, but no explicit direction on USD/CNY is expected.
Westpac expects USD/CNY to trade between 6.69 and 6.80 near term.
Expectations of a stable yuan range reduce currency-driven swings in Chinese feed import costs, leaving trade headlines as the main risk to demand.
