China's central bank asked major state banks to be ready to sell dollars for yuan in offshore markets to stem the currency's decline. The yuan has lost more than 11% against the dollar this year and is heading for its biggest annual loss since 1994.
Intervention could put a floor under the yuan, slightly easing pressure on Chinese import costs and dollar-priced commodity purchases, though the policy effect on grain demand is limited.
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.
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.
Reports that PBOC told state banks to prepare dollar sales for intervention signaled direct official action to support the yuan, a likely trigger for the sharp CNY per USD drop on Sept 29.
