The Chinese yuan rallied to a 10-month high against the dollar, with the onshore rate at 7.126 per dollar. The move was supported by firm PBOC midpoint fixings and a buoyant domestic stock market, and the yuan was on track for its biggest monthly gain since May.
A firmer yuan lifts China's purchasing power for imports and can ease the cost of buying dollar-priced commodities, though the effect on feed grain prices is modest and mainly sentiment-driven.
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.
After 1,637 past bearish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (39% higher; middle half -0.6% to +0.3%), and -0.2% over 20.
