A UBS foreign exchange strategist said China will keep losing capital and that the yuan will weaken further. He expects China's foreign exchange reserves to fall to $2.7-2.8 trillion by year-end.
Economists polled by Reuters had expected a January reserves drop of about $10.5 billion.
Capital outflows and reserve drawdowns signal continued pressure on the yuan, which tends to lift USD/CNY. A weaker yuan can reduce China's import demand for US and Brazilian feed commodities at the margin.
Setelah 398 peristiwa makro bullish sebelumnya, Yuan Tiongkok (CNY per USD) bergerak median +0,0% selama 5 sesi (56% lebih tinggi; separuh tengah -0,3% sampai +0,5%), dan +0,0% selama 20 sesi.
