Beijing issued a strong warning against bets on renminbi depreciation after the currency rebounded from a 16-year low, with the PBOC pledging to keep the exchange rate stable. State banks were buying yuan more actively, and the currency rose as much as 1% to 7.2698 per dollar.
Official intervention to support the yuan reduces the near-term pressure on China's dollar-based import costs, which modestly eases the outlook for grain import demand.
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.
