The PBoC set the yuan's central parity at 6.8101 per dollar on September 30, the first daily advance in the fixing since September 18. Strong September PMI readings, including a new export orders sub-index above 50, supported the currency, while US election uncertainty continues to support the dollar.
Expected yuan stability through the US election keeps Chinese import costs steady, while dollar safe-haven demand limits downside for US-priced commodities.
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.
