What’s new: China’s central bank weakened the yuan’s daily reference rate for a seventh straight trading day, signaling that policymakers are letting the currency decline slowly against the dollar as part of measures to support China’s economy.
The Chinese currency’s central parity was set at 7.1270 against the U.S. dollar on Thursday, compared with 7.1248 the previous day, according to data from the China Foreign Exchange Trade System (CFETS). The fixing was the weakest since Nov. 21.
