USD/CNH Steady, PBoC Vows To Avoid FX Overshoot

CNH

USD/CNH tracks close to unchanged in the first part of Thursday trade, the pair last near 7.2450, which is slightly up on Wednesday lows.

  • Headlines from the PBoC have crossed in recent dealings: *PBOC TO PREVENT UNILATERAL CONSENSUS ON YUAN EXCHANGE RATE, *PBOC TO PREVENT RISKS OF EXCHANGE RATE OVERSHOOTING. Per BBG the PBOC comments/statement were made on Wechat.
  • CNH hasn't moved following these remarks, but they suggest an on-going focus around managing yuan depreciation pressures.
  • Coming up soon we have the CNY fixing, followed by the onshore spot open. USD/CNY spot downside has been very limited in recent sessions and remains close to the top end of the daily trading band.
