The yuan strengthened on August 6, 2019, after the People's Bank of China set its daily fix firmer than expected, below the 7 level. The central bank also sold yuan-denominated bills in Hong Kong to curb short selling.
The stabilization eased safe-haven demand and reduced near-term currency-driven pressure on dollar-denominated commodity prices. Trade tensions remain unresolved, so the relief is likely limited.
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.
Pergerakan benchmark setiap komoditas dari penutupan terakhir sebelum peristiwa. Pembacaan historis menggabungkan peristiwa serupa di masa lalu; itu menggambarkan apa yang terjadi, bukan apa yang akan terjadi. Bukan nasihat investasi.
The firmer-than-expected fix and PBOC bill sales in Hong Kong tempered the depreciation on Aug 6, which shaped the net 5-day move.
