Most emerging Asian currencies weakened against the dollar on September 3, 2019, as investors worried about the outcome of Sino-US trade talks. The Chinese yuan slid to 7.1825 per dollar in early trade, its weakest since 2008.
The rupee fell 1.2% after weak Indian GDP data.
A weaker yuan makes US and other imported farm goods more expensive for Chinese buyers and can dampen import demand. Persistent trade tension tends to weigh on feed commodity demand.
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.
