  • This leaves the fixing error at -1487pips, versus yesterday's -1528pip outcome. The actual fix was very close to yesterday's outcome. The upside limit on USD/CNY today is around 7.3324.

  • The PBoC announced it will issue 60bn yuan in 6 month bills in Hong Kong on Jan 15 (a record amount). Onshore media noted earlier this week yuan bill issuance would pick up this month.
