# Yuan set for first weekly loss in six weeks as equity rout dents sentiment

> China’s yuan was headed for its first weekly decline in six weeks after softer central-bank midpoint guidance and a sharp selloff in equities weighed on sentiment. The onshore currency stood at 6.6690 per dollar, while the offshore yuan traded at 6.6671; the loss for the week was about 0.2% if sustained.

## Why it matters

A weaker yuan makes dollar-priced feed imports more costly for Chinese buyers and can modestly curb import demand or lift local prices. The reported currency move is small, with no specific commodity-flow change cited.
