How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| USD/CNY | The fixing establishes the official midpoint but does not by itself determine whether spot yuan strengthens or weakens within the permitted band. | Watchintraday | The PBOC published a 6.7195 reference rate against a 6.6756 market estimate. |
| CNH/USD | Offshore yuan trading may respond to the official signal, but the direction depends on whether markets interpret the deviation as support or tolerance for depreciation. | Watch1-5d | The official reference rate differed materially from the market estimate. |
