China's yuan touched its weakest level against the dollar in nearly a week as COVID-19 outbreaks worsened, with 9,005 new infections reported and millions of Guangzhou residents ordered to be tested. Investors were watching whether Guangzhou would face a lockdown like Shanghai's earlier in the year.
Renewed lockdown fears weaken Chinese demand sentiment and the yuan, which can make dollar-priced feed imports more expensive for Chinese buyers.
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.
