The USD/CNY fix printed at 7.1934, versus a Bloomberg consensus of 7.2473. 

• The fixing error was -539pips in USD/CNY terms, a fresh wide since Aug 5.
• The actual fixing remains sub 7.2000 for now.
• USD/CNH is little changed in the first part of Thursday dealings, last near 7.2490. The early bias is for USD losses against the G10, as yen outperforms amidst lower US tech equity futures (post the Nvidia results).
