Chinese analysts said on August 9 that the yuan's rise against the dollar would likely slow in the second half of 2021. They cited softer economic recovery, a narrowing trade surplus, and Delta-related lockdowns.
The central parity rate was 6.4840 per dollar that day.
A slower yuan appreciation keeps China's dollar-priced feed import costs relatively higher than under a stronger currency. The outlook points to a softer demand backdrop for imports.
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.
