A Chinese clerk counts RMB (renminbi) yuan banknotes at a bank in Nantong city, east China's Jiangsu province, 24 July 2018.China's yuan weakened against the dollar on Friday (27 July 2018), breaching the key 6.8 per dollar level, dragged lower by a weaker midpoint and fears of further depreciation amid Sino-U.S. trade tensions. Large state-run banks offering dollars in the yuan forwards market, however, helped the renminbi pare some of its earlier losses by midday, although the yuan is set for its seventh week of losses - its longest losing streak since November 2015. Major Chinese state banks were seen swapping dollars for yuan in the forwards markets as they had the previous day, two traders said. Their operations dragged one-year tenor dollar/yuan swap points down into negative territory. No Use China. No Use France.
