The People's Bank of China set the onshore yuan (CNY) reference rate for the trading session ahead.
- 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.
The previous close was 7.1876
PBOC injects 10bn via 7-day RR, sets rate at an unchanged 1.8%
- 10bn yuan of RRs mature today
- thus no net injection or drain on the day in OMOs
--
Strongest setting for CNY since January 2 this year. Its not trading as strong on the market of course:
