The People's Bank of China set the yuan central parity rate at 7.0638 per dollar, a weakening of 72 basis points from the prior day. The onshore yuan had closed at 7.0663 the previous day.
A weaker yuan fixing makes dollar-priced imports such as feed grains more expensive for Chinese buyers, a mildly bullish factor for US feed commodity prices in dollar terms.
After 31 past bullish policy events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.2% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.3%), and -0.1% over 20.
