China's central bank unexpectedly raised the interest rate on medium-term loans, which weighed on bond prices. The yuan weakened after the PBOC set a weaker daily fixing of 6.8596 per dollar, in response to a rebound in the US dollar.
Tighter Chinese liquidity and a softer yuan can dampen commodity import appetite and make dollar-priced feed inputs more expensive for China. The price effect on feed ingredients is likely modest.
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.
After 2,356 past bullish macro events, US Dollar (Broad) moved a median +0.2% over 5 sessions (60% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.7%), and +0.4% over 20.
