Major Chinese state banks sold US dollars onshore and offshore on Tuesday to support the weakening yuan, according to sources. The yuan had hit its weakest level since December 2007 and its trade-weighted value was at a five-month low before the intervention lifted it from a record low of 7.3746 per dollar.
State intervention to stabilize the yuan may limit further currency-driven drops in Chinese import costs, offering modest support to dollar-priced feed demand from China.
