This nugget will show why USDCNH is the by far most important global bellwether at this stage and why 7.20 (or 7.30) will serve as the most important level to watch in global macro.

USDCNY has served as a risk asset barometer around key intervention levels. Reversals from 7.20 or 7.30 have led to a material surge in risk assets. The key level to watch in this cycle is probably 7.30 again and the authorities are struggling to hold the line this morning.
