The People's Bank of China set its daily yuan reference rate at 7.1196 per dollar, a level slightly weaker than the previous day. The gap between the fixing and market forecasts was the widest since April, signalling Beijing's intent to manage the currency's decline.
A stronger fixing supports the yuan and eases the cost of dollar-priced imports for China, a modest support for Chinese feed demand.
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.
