About Taxa Livre de Risco (CNY)

The risk-free rate for China is typically proxied by the shortest-maturity government bond yield or the central bank's overnight policy rate. It is the baseline discount rate for all China asset valuations.

Why FX traders watch it

All asset prices in China are discounted against the risk-free rate. Rising risk-free rates lift the cost of capital, dampen equity valuations, and typically attract foreign capital to cny-denominated bonds.

How to interpret the data

Rising risk-free rates relative to global peers support the cny via carry and capital flow channels. Falling rates signal monetary easing expectations and are typically cny-negative.
