The onshore yuan closed at 6.6150 per dollar, slightly weaker than the previous afternoon’s close, while offshore trading also showed limited movement. The daily central parity rate weakened for an eighth consecutive session, and traders said the yuan lacked a clear direction and was likely to remain in a narrow range.
A slightly weaker yuan makes dollar-denominated imports more expensive for Chinese buyers, but the small move and range-bound outlook suggest little immediate effect on commodity demand or prices.
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.
