# Yuan drops to two-week low despite PBOC's efforts as dollar firms

> The yuan fell to a two-week low against the dollar on Tuesday despite the People's Bank of China setting a firmer midpoint. The dollar index hit a three-week high after strong US services data and ahead of Trump's April 2 tariff deadline, when some levies may be waived.
