CNH Slips as PBoC Raise FX Reserve Requirements

CHINA
  • CNH slips in recent trade as markets respond to PBoC headlines:
  • PBoC are to raise the FX Reserve Requirement Ratio for financial institutions to 7% from 5%.
  • Move has prompted a need among Chinese financial institutions to diversify further away from CNY, CNH and into the likes of USD, EUR, hence modest China FX weakness across most major pairs this morning
  • Policy switch follows extended period of strength for CNY over the past few months, in which USD/CNY touched the lowest levels since 2018.
