The PBOC said it will scrap a two-year-old rule requiring deposits on currency forward trades that bet on yuan declines. The move makes it cheaper for firms and investors to buy dollars and sell yuan.
The central bank cited the need to fend off macro-financial risks.
Removing the deposit requirement eases pressure on the yuan to strengthen, which could support a weaker yuan against the dollar. A weaker yuan can make Chinese purchases of US and Brazilian feed commodities more expensive in local terms.
