China's foreign-currency reserves increased by about $4.9 billion in October to roughly $3.405 trillion, while total reserve assets fell by approximately $11.9 billion. The decline reflected a drop in gold's reported dollar value, even as the quantity of gold held increased; the yuan also weakened against the dollar during the reported week.
The weaker yuan can raise the cost of imported feed ingredients in China, potentially weighing on import demand or supporting local prices. The reserve figures themselves do not indicate a direct change in commodity supply or demand.
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.
