Effective from August 11th, 2015, the quotes for central parity given by the market makers every day, before market opens should refer to the closing rate of interbank foreign exchange market a day before and it should be in conjunction with the supply/Demand in the forex market as well as movement of the major currencies
PBOC has long been introduces a 2% band both sides from the central parity, however movement in Dollar-Yuan exchange rate, which remained almost flat indicates, how heavily it is managed.
Today's move in which offshore Yuan has weakened as much as 2.9%, indicate how influential the central bank has been in the foreign exchange market.
