Asian currencies traded mixed on Tuesday. The Australian dollar slipped 0.2% to $0.6988 after the RBA raised its cash rate 25 basis points to 4.85% in a 6-3 vote.
The offshore yuan weakened 0.37% to 6.6710 per dollar after the PBOC raised its FX reserve requirement ratio.
A weaker yuan makes US and Brazilian feed exports more expensive for Chinese buyers, which can soften import demand. Higher Australian rates support the Aussie, but a weaker currency can help Australian grain exporters compete.
