China's Yuan Rebounds After Central Bank Guidance
China's currency, the yuan, got a boost after the central bank signaled it wants to keep it stable.
This is because the U.S. dollar is strong, and that can make other countries' money less valuable.
The central bank set a rate that was better than expected, which helped the yuan recover.
Meanwhile, factory activity in China is still shrinking.
The Hong Kong dollar also stayed close to its weaker limit against the U.S. dollar, despite efforts to keep it stable.
China's yuan rebounded from a near two-month low against the dollar.
The People's Bank of China set the midpoint rate at 7.1494 per dollar, firmer than estimates.
The guidance rate's premium over market forecasts hit the widest level in three months.
China's manufacturing data showed factory activity contracting for a fourth consecutive month.
The Hong Kong dollar traded near the weaker end of its trading band against the U.S. dollar.
