PBOC Sets Yuan Reference Rate Slightly Weaker Against Dollar
Original: PBOC Sets Yuan Reference Rate Slightly Weaker vs Dollar
China's central bank, the People's Bank of China, set the daily yuan fixing marginally weaker against the US dollar, its official reference rate for onshore currency trading. A softer fixing can signal that Beijing is comfortable letting the yuan drift lower, and traders watch the number closely each morning for clues about the authorities' stance on the currency and capital flows. Markets took the move as a modest signal of tolerance for mild yuan weakness.
Why now: The daily fixing is a closely watched signal of Chinese currency policy and market direction.
