China's central bank lowered its yuan midpoint for a seventh straight session, setting it at 7.0136 per dollar, the weakest level since April 2008. The fix came in firmer than Reuters' estimate of 7.0222, which traders had not expected.
A weaker yuan raises the cost of dollar-priced imports for China, which can modestly dampen its buying of U.S. soybeans and meal. The firmer-than-expected fix suggests Beijing is limiting the pace of depreciation, so the effect on feed prices is likely limited.
