China's central bank signalled it wants to slow yuan gains by setting its daily fixing well below model estimates. It also reiterated a pledge to keep the currency stable in a financial stability report released on Friday.
A deliberately slow yuan appreciation keeps Chinese import costs from falling quickly, so the currency is unlikely to create a sharp shift in commodity demand. Its effect on feed prices is limited.
After 42 past neutral policy events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.4%), and -0.2% over 20.
