Yuan Chews Into Yesterday's Losses

CNH

Spot USD/CNH has been offered, although there has been little of note in China's headline flow. The rate side at CNH6.3757, down 49 pips on the day, with bears looking for a breach of Dec 13 low of CNH6.3640 before setting their sights on Dec 8 low of CNH6.3305. Bulls look for a jump above Dec 10 high/50-DMA at CNH6.3893/6.3910, which would bring Nov 26 high of CNH6.3999 into play.

  • China's NBS revised 2020 GDP growth to +2.2% Y/Y in final review from the preliminary reading of +2.3%.
