- USD/CNY is the onshore yuan. Its permitted to trade plus or minus 2% from this daily reference rate.
- CNH is the offshore yuan. USD /CNH has no restrictions on its trading range.
- A significantly stronger or weaker rate than expected is typically considered a signal from the PBOC.

PBOC injects 90bn via 7-day RR, sets rate at an unchanged 1.8% and injects 255bln yuan via 14-day reverse repos with the rate at 1.95%
- 43bn yuan of RRs mature today
- thus a net 302bn yuan injection on the day in OMOs
