The yuan rose to its highest level in nearly 10 months against the dollar as tensions between the US and China eased. Chinese authorities appear willing to tolerate a stronger currency while the economy remains resilient.
The yuan has gained nearly 4% against the dollar since April.
A firmer yuan lowers the local-currency cost of dollar-priced imports, which can support Chinese buying of feed commodities at the margin. The move signals improved US-China relations, which could ease trade frictions affecting soybean and grain flows.
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.
