Against the greenback, the yuan fell to more than a 1-1/2-month low of 6.3808 from last week’s closing value of 6.3735.
If the yuan extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around the 6.41 area.
The People Bank of China set today’s central parity rate for yuan at 6.3750 per dollar, compared to Friday’s reference rate of 6.3655. The central bank sets the reference rate every morning and allows the currency to move upto 2 percent from that level.
