China's yuan slipped to a near three-week low against the dollar on Friday and was heading for a second straight weekly loss. Safe-haven demand for the dollar intensified as the Middle East conflict continued, and Brent crude rose past $105 a barrel.
The PBOC set its midpoint at 6.9141, the weakest fix since March 9.
Yuan weakness alongside a surge in crude raises China's effective cost of energy and grain imports, which can weigh on its purchasing. Stronger dollar conditions also pressure US export competitiveness for feed commodities.
Na 398 eerdere opwaarts macro-gebeurtenissen bewoog Chinese yuan (CNY per USD) zich mediaan +0,0% over 5 sessies (56% hoger; middelste helft -0,3% tot +0,5%), en +0,0% over 20.
