The People's Bank of China set the yuan's central parity rate at 6.7152 per dollar, 22 pips stronger than the previous day. Onshore and offshore yuan traded near 6.67 per dollar on Friday morning.

After 991 past macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.0% over 5 sessions (49% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
