CNH

Another stronger than expected CNY fixing (22nd session in a row). The print came in at 6.9920, versus a Bloomberg consensus of 7.0758. Note the Reuters estimate was 7.0080.

  • Today's error term, in USD/CNY terms, is -838pips, so close to yesterday's outcome of -850pips.
  • The fixing stayed below 7.00, although it was still above yesterday's outcome of 6.9798, so we are still trending higher for the metric.
