中國央行下調(diào)中間價 延續(xù)人民幣跌勢

The renminbi extended its slide on Tuesday after China’s central bank lowered the midpoint around which the currency can trade against the US dollar by the most since January.

人民幣在9月12日延續(xù)跌勢，此前中國央行以今年1月以來的最大幅度下調(diào)了人民幣兌美元中間價。

The decline followed the Chinese currency’s worst day in three months on Monday after the People’s Bank of China on Friday dropped a requirement raising the cost of betting on renminbi depreciation, and scrapped a requirement that banks hold reserves against renminbi deposits held in Hong Kong and other offshore centres.

9月12日人民幣走低之前，9月9日中國人民銀行(PBoC)取消了一項要求，該要求意在提升押注人民幣貶值的成本，并不再執(zhí)行針對各銀行在香港等離岸中心的人民幣存款的準(zhǔn)備金要求。隨后，人民幣在9月11日經(jīng)歷了三個月來最糟糕的一天。

On Tuesday, the PBoC set the daily fix — the midpoint around which the renminbi can trade 2 per cent in either direction against the dollar — at Rmb6.5277, which was 0.4 per cent softer than the previous day and the most significant weakening since January 9.

9月12日，中國央行將人民幣每日中間價——人民幣兌美元匯率可圍繞此中間價上下波動2%——設(shè)定為1美元兌6.5277元人民幣，較9月11日下降了0.4%，這是自今年1月9日以來的最大下調(diào)幅度。

That prompted the onshore exchange rate for the renminbi to weaken as much as 0.3 per cent to Rmb6.548 against the dollar, bringing it down a cumulative 1.7 per cent from Friday’s peak.

這促使人民幣在岸匯率下降了0.3%，至1美元兌6.548元人民幣，相比9月9日的峰值累計下降1.7%。

The offshore rate, which is not bound by the PBoC band, eased as much as 0.2 per cent to Rmb6.5518 per dollar.

不受中國央行干預(yù)的人民幣離岸匯率下降0.2%，至1美元兌6.5518元人民幣。
