China's yuan rose to its strongest level since May 2018, reaching 6.3451 per dollar. The move followed bets that the central bank's broad monetary easing would support growth and that the Omicron variant would have a limited global impact.
Demand for the dollar as a haven eased.
A stronger yuan lowers the cost of Chinese import purchases in dollar terms, which can support demand for feed commodities. The effect on prices is modest because the move reflects sentiment rather than a change in trade flows.
