Official support for the yuan limits the currency's decline, which helps keep Chinese import costs from rising sharply. The tariff expectations behind the yuan weakness remain a bearish risk for US feed trade.
After 169 past neutral macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.2%), and -0.0% over 20.
