China's central bank added a counter-cyclical adjustment factor to the USDCNY daily fixing calculation, with CFETS confirming the change. The yuan sold off to its lowest level since January 2017 after the move.
Commentators say the fix is becoming less transparent and more government-driven.
A stronger yuan trend can lift Chinese purchasing power for imports, but the effect on feed commodity prices is limited and indirect.
Setelah 42 peristiwa kebijakan netral sebelumnya, Yuan Tiongkok (CNY per USD) bergerak median -0,0% selama 5 sesi (50% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -0,3% sampai +0,4%), 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 counter-cyclical factor added to the fixing, and USDCNY's fall afterward, helped lower the pair, though the article's timing and 'sold off' wording are ambiguous.
