People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the USD/CNY central rate at 7.0904 on Monday, versus previous fix of 7.0939 and market expectations of 7.0918. It's worth noting that the USD/CNY closed near 7.0960 the previous day.
"With 25 billion Yuan worth of reverse repos maturing on Monday, China central bank drains 23 billion Yuan on a net basis on the day," said Reuters following the PBOC Fix announcements.
