The People's Bank of China set the USD/CNY central parity at 6.7180 for the November 4 session, up from the previous session's 6.7150. The fix was also well above a Reuters estimate of 6.6811 for the same day.
A fixing well above market estimates signals Beijing is leaning against yuan appreciation, which slightly raises the dollar cost of Chinese imports of US farm goods. The effect on feed commodity prices is minor.
After 362 past bearish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.1%), and -0.2% over 20.
