# Chinese Yuan: PBoC resistance caps appreciation – Societe Generale

> Societe Generale analysts say the yuan is nearing its peak as the PBOC pushes back against one-way appreciation. They expect USD/CNY to bottom at 6.60 in the first quarter of 2027 and identify higher foreign-exchange reserve requirements and possible fixing adjustments as tools the central bank could use.

## Why it matters

PBOC resistance could slow yuan appreciation, limiting further reductions in the local-currency cost of dollar-priced feed imports. The forecast implies limited additional yuan strengthening from current levels.
