EM BulletFixed Income NewsHomepageBulletMarketsEmerging Markets NewsForeign Exchange News

USD/CNH got to fresh lows for the session, getting close to the 6.8900 level. We are slightly higher now, back near 6.9000. The equity impulse is positive in the terms of HK shares and China related but we are away from best levels. Mainland stocks are also higher, but recording more modest gains.
