中國(guó)央行下調(diào)中間價(jià) 延續(xù)人民幣跌勢(shì)

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(shì)，此前中國(guó)央行以今年1月以來(lái)的最大幅度下調(diào)了人民幣兌美元中間價(jià)。

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(guó)人民銀行(PBoC)取消了一項(xiàng)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(duì)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(gè)月來(lái)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(guó)央行將人民幣每日中間價(jià)——人民幣兌美元匯率可圍繞此中間價(jià)上下波動(dòng)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(lái)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(jì)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(guó)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。
