# Yuan slips after China's Q3 GDP slower than expected - Markets - Business Recorder

> The yuan slipped against the dollar on October 18, 2021, after China's third-quarter GDP grew 4.9% year on year, slower than expected. Power shortages, supply bottlenecks and COVID-19 outbreaks weighed on growth, and property-sector credit worries added to the pressure. Expectations of less monetary easing limited the currency's losses.

## Why it matters

Weaker Chinese growth reduces the outlook for import demand for feed inputs, which is mildly bearish for grain and oilseed prices. A softer yuan also makes Chinese purchases of dollar-priced commodities marginally more expensive.
