Yuan stays flat against the US dollar
FXStreet (Mumbai) - China’s Yuan stays flat against the US dollar after the PBOC set the midpoint rate slightly higher for the fifth consecutive day.
The offshore Yuan (CNH) was trading 0.52% softer than the onshore (CNY) spot rate at 6.6121 per dollar. The USD demand is tepid even though the USD index remained resilient overnight. The Federal Reserve offered little in the way of surprises, as it took note of the financial market instability and global economic issues but reaffirmed gradual path of tightening.
Traders remain cautious ahead of Chinese January economic data starting in early February. The widely tracked PMI is due for release on Feb 1.
