CNH: USD/CNY Fixing Edges Up, Fixing Error Slightly Tighter

Dec-18 01:23

The USD/CNY fix printed at 7.0583, versus a BBG market consensus of 7.0430 (yesterday's fixing was 7.0573). This leaves a fixing error of +153pips, slightly tighter than yesterday's +172 pip outcome. USD/CNH sits close to 7.0400 in latest dealings, little changed so far in the session. We are a touch higher post the fixing outcome. Focus will now be on the onshore spot open and early trends, with USD/CNY unable to break under 7.0400 yesterday (which helped stabilize downside USD/CNH sentiment).
