People’s Bank of China increased the daily fixing for Chinese yuan by the most in nearly a week following the US dollar slumped as the Federal Reserve pared interest rate projections.

The reference rate was raised by 0.32% to 6.4961 to the dollar. The offshore yuan ended down 0.12% at 6.4934, extending losses from previous session.

The US central bank, in a statement, attributed the downscaled outlook to financial market upheaval on the US economy and weaker global growth.
