USD/CNY Fixing Higher Despite Modest USD Pullback

CNH

The USD/CNY fixing printed at 7.1312, versus a Bloomberg consensus estimate of 7.2631.

  • The fixing error narrowed to -1319pips in USD/CNY terms, versus -1424pips yesterday.
  • The actual fix was higher than yesterday's outcome, (7.1291), despite lower market estimates (yesterday's fixing estimate was 7.2715). This suggests the authorities are comfortable with a continued modest pace of yuan depreciation pressures.
