China's yuan neared the 7-per-dollar level after the PBOC set its daily midpoint at 6.9572, its weakest since late December. The yuan traded around 6.9677, its weakest in nearly three months, after a hotter-than-expected US inflation report lifted the dollar and Treasury yields.
A weaker yuan makes Chinese feed and commodity imports dearer in local terms, which can dampen Chinese buying of US and Brazilian feed ingredients.
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.
