Onshore yuan closes at 6.6781 per dollar, up 29 pips

A 29-pip move is marginal in isolation, so the more telling detail here is the $41.483 billion session volume accompanying it — participation, not direction, is what gives a small close any weight. This matters chiefly to FX desks and cross-border treasuries tracking the onshore fix and its daily drift. Whether this modest firming extends into a broader trend, or remains noise within a narrow range, is the open question worth following.
