This replay spans 132 daily bars from 2015-11-16 to 2016-05-16, encompassing the period when the Chinese yuan faced intense depreciation pressure and policymakers navigated a delicate balancing act between currency stability and market-driven pricing. Understanding the forces at play during these months remains essential for anyone studying emerging-market forex dynamics and central bank communication strategy.
The replay captures a 2.5% move in USD/CNY, from 6.3638 to 6.5213. Volatility proved manageable yet persistent, with a maximum drawdown of 2.2% and the largest single-bar move reaching 1.2%.
