3 Central Bank Shocks Unleash Overnight Yield Crash, With Yuan On Verge Of Collapse

• https://www.zerohedge.com by Tyler Durden

The main event, of course, was the latest yuan fixing with the PBOC showing a clear sense of humor when it set the currency at 6.9996laughably not to be confused with 7.0000 (for at least another 24 hours that is), but just a fraction of a percent away from the critical threshold, and weaker than the 6.9977 expected. The result was a resumption in the offshore yuan selloff, a hit to US equity futures and a drop in Treasury yields. Of course, once the PBOC does finally fix the yuan on the wrong side of 7, all bets are off and watch as the CNH crashes... as far as 7.70 according to SocGen, especially once Trump hikes tariffs to 25%.
