Somebody forgot to give the PBoC the memo about that whole “PBoC eliminating the dollar peg” thing. According to the just released fixing by the Chinese Central bank, the USDCNY today was at 6.8275, the exact same as Monday. And adding just a little insult to injury, the PBoC devalued the CNY against the EUR by juar under 300 pips: from 8.4538 to 8.4825. That’s ok though, the HFT brigade already has its wax on, er, risk on, no volume marching orders.
