China's central bank set stronger-than-expected yuan midpoint fixings this week, and state banks were seen selling dollars onshore and offshore. The yuan has lost nearly 5% against the dollar this year and is among the weakest Asian currencies.

A weaker yuan raises the cost of imports for China, a major buyer of feed grains and oilseeds, which can slow purchases and pressure prices. Intervention to defend the currency signals policymakers' concern about this pressure.
Setelah 362 peristiwa makro bearish sebelumnya, Yuan Tiongkok (CNY per USD) bergerak median -0,1% selama 5 sesi (42% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -0,4% sampai +0,1%), dan -0,2% selama 20 sesi.
