A slower yuan appreciation pace marginally reduces China's purchasing power for imported feed ingredients priced in dollars, a mild headwind for demand; the effect on grain and meal prices is limited.
After 169 past neutral macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (50% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.2%), and -0.0% over 20.
