TREE NEWS update: The People’s Bank of China’s monetary policy committee held its third-quarter 2026 meeting on September 19, pledging to curb herding behavior and the self-reinforcement of irrational expectations in the foreign exchange market while keeping the yuan basically stable at a reasonable and balanced level. The committee also said it would regulate credit market practices, lower intermediary financing costs, monitor long-term bond yields from a macro-prudential perspective, and improve the transmission of monetary policy.
China’s central bank warns against herding, irrational FX expectations
AI take
The PBOC's explicit focus on "herding" and "self-reinforcing" FX expectations signals that it sees one-way positioning, rather than fundamentals, as the immediate risk. That framing matters most for corporates and traders whose currency conversion timing can itself amplify moves. The parallel pledges on intermediary financing costs and long-term bond yields point to a broader effort to keep policy transmission working while managing leverage. Whether the language shifts from warning to action is the open question.
