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.
Na 50 eerdere neerwaarts beleid-gebeurtenissen bewoog Chinese yuan (CNY per USD) zich mediaan -0,1% over 5 sessies (46% hoger; middelste helft -0,4% tot +0,4%), en -0,0% over 20.

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.
