CHINA YUAN: USDCNH has broken below its 200dma as well as briefly taking out its
Jan 11 low. A close below its 200dma at 6.7471 would be a bearish signal
suggesting a move down to the next round number at 6.70. 
- Yuan crosses are also firmer on the day with EURCNH breaking back below 7.70
to keep the focus lower. Uptrend support from the 2015 lows comes in at 7.5600.
- CNHKRW has held above its 200dma despite the won's recent surge, keeping the
uptrend intact. Bulls look for a clean break above 166.00 to reignite the
uptrend. 
- CNHJPY is down marginally on the day but remains just off monthly highs.
- Our take is that the yuan remains unloved and that the easing trend by the
PBOC is already priced in. That said, still-wide rate spreads between US and
China are the missing link and we would likely need to see higher Chinese yields
to justify a yuan bull market.
