People's Bank of China set the onshore yuan (CNY) reference rate for the trading session ahead.
- USD/CNY is the onshore yuan. Its permitted to trade plus or minus 2% from this daily reference rate.
- CNH is the offshore yuan. USD /CNH has no restrictions on its trading range.
- A significantly stronger or weaker rate than expected is typically considered a signal from the PBOC.
The previous close was 7.0551
The setting at 7.0560 is the weakest for the CNY since December 1 last year.
PBOC injects 2bn yuan in open market operations (OMOs) via 7-day reverse repos (RRs) at an unchanged rate of 2%
- 2bn yuan of RRs mature today
- thus a net neutral on the day
