China’s yuan slid sharply from November-level highs, relinquishing its breakthrough of the 7.2 per dollar threshold as corporate and offshore entities flocked to the US currency. The reversal comes despite a recent US-China trade agreement that initially bolstered forex markets beyond analyst expectations.
