A weaker yuan amid high oil prices raises China's import costs and can dampen its demand for dollar-priced feed and energy. Persistent dollar strength adds pressure on commodity prices quoted in USD.
After 398 past bullish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.5%), and +0.0% over 20.
