(Yicai Global) June 15 -- China's central bank set the yuan’s central parity rate against the US dollar at 7.0902 this morning, weakening the redback by 37 basis points from the previous trading day.

The China Foreign Exchange Trade System, the interbank trading and foreign exchange division under China's central bank, fixes the benchmark parity rate on the morning of each business day. Spot rates may deviate 2 percent above or below the figure during that day.
