The onshore yuan closed at 6.6682 per US dollar, up 53 pips from the previous day, reaching a one-week high. The midpoint rate rebounded from a half-month low, while overnight gains in US stocks and a weaker dollar supported the yuan; officials’ midpoint setting signaled efforts to temper appreciation.
A stronger yuan can lower the local cost of dollar-priced imports, but the reported move is modest and near-term currency trading is expected to remain range-bound.
After 362 past bearish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.1%), and -0.2% over 20.
