CHINA unexpectedly devalued its yuan in mid-August, bringing the USD/CNY rate from about 6.21 renminbi (RMB) per dollar straight up to a stabilisation point of about 6.4 RMB per dollar.
That is a 3 per cent depreciation in less than a week - a big move by forex standards.
It is safe to say that China's unexpected monetary policy had huge reverberations on markets worldwide.
