China’s yuan rebounds after central bank raises midpoint to highest level in half a year
Yuan Strengthens as China’s Central Bank Raises Reference Rate
On Tuesday, the Chinese yuan recovered against the US dollar, snapping a two-day losing streak. This turnaround followed the central bank’s decision to significantly increase its daily reference rate—the largest adjustment in more than half a year. Investors saw this move as an effort to steady the currency amid market volatility triggered by escalating conflict in the Middle East.
The ongoing hostilities have expanded, with Israel launching strikes against Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran continuing to target US interests in the Gulf region. Before trading began on Tuesday, the People’s Bank of China set the yuan’s midpoint at 6.9088 per dollar, marking a 0.21% or 148-pip increase from the previous day—its sharpest single-day rise in percentage terms in over six months.

The market's response strategies to major listings are currently centered around "index inclusion expectations": the new regulations allow mega IPOs to be included in the six major indices within 15 days, triggering concentrated buying by passive funds. Investors are positioning themselves in advance and using options to hedge and amplify buying power. However, Anthropic has a free float of only about 6%; shares available for sale by employees on the first day and privately placed shares with no lock-up period may create supply pressure. On the other hand, index arbitrageurs are facing a rare opportunity.
