# Yuan falls to two-month low on stronger dollar, soft factory data — TradingView News

> The yuan slipped to a two-month low of about 7.2116 per dollar on Friday as the dollar strengthened broadly and China's private factory survey showed activity deteriorating in July. The PBOC set a firmer-than-expected yuan midpoint, and Beijing faced an August 12 deadline for a durable tariff deal with Washington.

## Why it matters

A weaker yuan makes Chinese exports more price-competitive and reflects softer demand, but the firmer PBOC fix limits further depreciation. For feed buyers the currency move is a modest signal for Chinese import demand for soybeans and meal.
