The People's Bank of China will cut the foreign exchange reserve requirement ratio from 8% to 6% starting Sept. 15 to ease yuan weakness.
The yuan had fallen about 8% against the dollar year to date, reaching two-year lows.
A lower FX reserve requirement adds dollar liquidity and signals support for the yuan, which can modestly ease pressure on Chinese import demand for feed ingredients priced in dollars.
Setelah 50 peristiwa kebijakan bearish sebelumnya, Yuan Tiongkok (CNY per USD) bergerak median -0,1% selama 5 sesi (46% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -0,4% sampai +0,4%), dan -0,0% selama 20 sesi.
