China's heavily managed yuan fell to multi-month lows and broke below the 7-per-dollar level. Analysts attribute more of the weakness to Federal Reserve policy and dollar strength than to China's own economic slowdown.
A weaker yuan raises the cost of dollar-priced commodity imports for China, which can slow purchases of US and Brazilian feed grains. The move mainly reflects dollar strength, so its direct effect on feed prices is limited.
After 398 past bullish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.5%), and +0.0% over 20.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
