China's yuan reached its highest level against the dollar in more than three years on Friday, even as the central bank set a weaker-than-expected fixing. Reuters reports the PBOC is showing discomfort with the pace of gains.
The central bank's resistance to rapid appreciation limits how far the yuan move will ease China's dollar-denominated import costs, so the feed price impact stays small.
After 362 past bearish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.1%), and -0.2% over 20.
