The onshore yuan rose 0.05% to 6.6711 per dollar on Friday as Chinese companies converted foreign earnings into yuan ahead of year-end. The gain came despite a dollar near a 19-month high on expectations of a December Federal Reserve rate hike.
Dollar strength driven by Fed rate hike expectations raises the cost of dollar-priced grain and oilseed imports for China, while seasonal yuan conversion partly offsets the pressure.
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.
