Yuan Meanders, PBOC Pledge More Support

CNH

Spot USD/CNH sold off in early trade but has already recouped most losses and last sits -20 pips at CNH6.3586, after another in-line yuan fixing. A fall through yesterday's/Dec 31 lows of CNH6.3405/6.3379 would clear the way to Dec 8 low of CNH6.3305. Meanwhile, initial topside focus falls on Jan 6/Nov 26 highs of CNH6.3976/99.

  • As mentioned in our CNH bullets earlier this week, the PBOC will fix their benchmark loan prime rates this Thursday. The recent reductions in interest rates applied to 1-year MLF & 7-day reverse repo operations.
  • Dep Gov Liu touted the People's Bank increasingly proactive approach. He said Tuesday that the central bank will "open monetary policy tool box wider, maintain stable overall money supply and avoid a collapse in credit," adding that officials will take pre-emptive steps and stay ahead of the market curve.
