CHINA YUAN: *CORRECTED TAG* USD/CNH last deals at CNH7.0428, 36 pips worse off.
A softer than expected PBoC fix triggered an uptick, which was promptly erased
as the central bank announced that it will offer CNH30bn worth of bills in Hong
Kong next week. A strong Caixin m'fing PMI print has applied fresh pressure to
USD/CNH as the index unexpectedly rose to 51.7 from 51.4, indicating the fastest
pace of expansion since Feb 2017. It is worth highlighting, however, that all
those moves have been contained to a tight range.
- The Central Committee of the Communist Party of China concluded its four-day
closed-doors plenum. Party off'ls discussed the HK situation, pledging to
"establish and perfect the legal system and enforcement mechanisms" in the city.
- The rate charted a Doji yesterday, with a jump to intraday highs noted as BBG
reported that China has doubts re: signing a long-term trade pact with Trump.
- The pair dropped below the Sep 13 low of CNH7.0312 yesterday, but failed to
challenge the 100-DMA, today at CNH7.0256. A fall under the 100-DMA would play
into the hands of bears. Bulls look for a break above CNH7.0503, the low of Oct
14, before turning focus to the 21-DMA at CNH7.0827.
