China's yuan fell to a three-week low against a firmer dollar after November data showed consumer and factory-gate prices falling at the fastest pace in years. The PBOC capped losses with a midpoint fix much stronger than market estimates.

Weak Chinese demand signals and a softer yuan reduce China's purchasing power for imported feed and soymeal, a mildly bearish factor for those markets.
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.
