The Chinese onshore yuan rallied to a three-year high against the dollar on the final day of 2021, trading near 6.3492 and briefly reaching 6.3404. The move came amid thin year-end liquidity after a year of robust export growth and solid investor flows.
A stronger yuan lowers the cost of dollar-priced imports for China, which can modestly support its demand for feed grains and oilseeds. The effect on prices is limited because the move was largely driven by thin liquidity.
