# Chinese yuan hits eight-month low with missed inflation data and US dollar rebound | FX Blue

> The Chinese yuan fell to an eight-month low against the dollar after China's consumer prices rose less than forecast for a fifth month and producer price deflation persisted. The PBOC set its yuan midpoint at the weakest level in a while, hinting at controlled depreciation. The dollar also rebounded from a three-week low after Fed Chair Powell suggested rate cuts might not come as soon as markets hoped.

## Why it matters

A weaker yuan and firmer dollar make Chinese feed imports costlier in local terms and can dampen Chinese demand for US soybeans and corn, mildly pressuring grain prices.
