Key Quotes
"Evidence of financial stress in China might be seen in the CNY forward curve. This has hardly risen, and is much lower than mid-2013."
"Volatility in CNY spot may and metals may be triggering some financial stress, but overall the evidence is mixed. Unless the CNY forward curve steepens significantly, AUD and JPY (risk proxies) may remain supported."
