> The PBOC set the yuan midpoint at 6.7168 per dollar on November 6, 406 pips weaker than the market estimate, which the article interprets as a signal that policymakers want to slow yuan appreciation. It also reports the planned increase in the FX deposit reserve requirement from 4% to 6% on November 15 and gives differing bank forecasts for the yuan’s path into 2027.

## Why it matters

A slower pace of yuan appreciation could keep imported feed and agricultural commodities more expensive in China than a stronger-currency scenario. The fixing and FX-reserve policy signal may affect import purchasing power, though the article describes currency expectations rather than a direct change in commodity flows.
