• Reuters reported that China told state-owned banks to get ready to sell dollars and buy yuan in an effort to prop up the local currency.
• The move could stem the yuan’s fall, as it remains on track for its largest annual loss against the dollar since 1994.
• A hawkish Fed has pushed the dollar to 20-year highs this year, pressuring currencies around the world.
