CNY fix gap: no current finding

The source is stale. Palimpsest keeps the availability and evidence record visible without publishing retained values as current news.

What the record says

Availability. No current finding is published for CNY fix gap because the source status is stale.

This report is scoped to cny-fix-gap. It does not merge unlike instruments or infer a cause from co-movement.

How it was measured

two prices for one currency: the state's 09:15 Beijing fix vs an independent same-day market reference (ECB concertation, 14:15 CET = 20:15 Beijing). gap_pct > 0 means the market prices the yuan weaker than the fix; the band is ±2%, so gap_pct is read against that scale. Computed only on days a fix exists — ECB prints CNY on Chinese holidays and a gap against an unset fix would be fiction. Onshore only: no licence-clean keyless CNH source exists (the TMA fixing is licensed), stated rather than worked around. cross_check_diff is the ECB-vs-BoC derivation disagreement, published so a silent break in either source is visible; it is null on rounds where the Bank of Canada leg did not answer. Economic backdrop, not censorship — deliberately off the alarm board

What this cannot establish

  • Current finding withheld: freshness deadline has passed
  • The comparison is onshore and same-day but not simultaneous; it is economic context, not direct evidence of censorship.
