FEBRUARY 05, 2025

Summary

  • Onshore yuan falls following return from extended break
  • Yen rises on upbeat Japanese wage gain, rising bets of BOJ hike
  • Dollar on the back foot, giving respite to peers

SINGAPORE, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The yuan sank on Wednesday as a new Sino-U.S. trade war shook Chinese markets returning from an extended Lunar New Year break, while the yen jumped on rising bets of more Bank of Japan (BOJ) rate hikes this year.
The dollar rose more than 0.5% against the yuan to a high of 7.2863 in onshore trade, though its gains were capped by the People's Bank of China (PBOC) setting a stronger-than-expected yuan midpoint rate, around which the currency is allowed to trade in a 2% band.
