The yuan jumped to a two-month high after state-owned banks reportedly sold US dollars in the onshore market. The move followed Moody's decision to downgrade China's sovereign credit rating one notch to A1.
Traders described the selling as support for the currency.
State dollar selling to prop up the yuan reduces depreciation pressure on Chinese importers of feed commodities, supporting import demand. The intervention signals policy support that limits near-term currency swings.
