The onshore yuan edged up 0.09% and the offshore yuan gained about 0.04%, but both stayed range-bound. The PBOC set its daily midpoint at 6.7191 per dollar, weaker than the market estimate, while strong Chinese exports and a trade surplus supported the currency’s longer-term outlook.
A firmer dollar and a weaker yuan can raise the local-currency cost of imported feed and agricultural commodities for Chinese buyers. The reported move was modest, so the direct price implication is limited.
