USD CNY

This continues from the story earlier here as China is doubling down on banks, this time wanting to encourage more flows into the yuan currency instead.

The Chinese self-regulatory body overseen by the central bank has reportedly asked major state-owned banks to lower their dollar deposit interest rates, with the cap now being at 4.3% (previously 5.3%) for dollar deposits of $50,000 and above.

This is largely to try and encourage Chinese firms, particularly exporters, to settle their FX receipts in the yuan - after the currency has fallen considerably over the past few weeks against the dollar.
