The yuan hit an 18-month low and was on course for its worst month since the 1994 currency reforms, having fallen more than 4.5% against the dollar in April.

Continued yuan weakness raises the dollar cost of Chinese purchases of US and Brazilian feed ingredients, which can soften import demand. Stronger dollar conditions add further downside risk for the yuan.
