The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the USD/CNY central parity rate at 6.7900 on Tuesday, compared to the previous day’s fix of 6.7884. The rate guides onshore trading and was 0.02% weaker than Monday’s level.
Market watchers had anticipated a stronger yuan after a Reuters survey projected a fix of 6.7497. Instead, the central bank allowed a softer currency, signaling tolerance for a gradual depreciation amid widening yield differentials and a resilient dollar.
