China's foreign-exchange reserves increased by $4.9 billion in October to $3.4052 trillion, official data showed. The report also described steps by the central bank to curb rapid yuan appreciation, including weaker fixings and a higher foreign-exchange reserve requirement.
A weaker yuan can raise the domestic cost of imported feed ingredients, but the reserve increase itself mainly reflects valuation effects and does not establish a change in commodity demand.
After 24 past report events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (46% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.4%), and -0.9% over 20.
