China Devalues The Yuan

Gold prices are modestly higher on a short-covering Bounce from recent selling pressure.

In overnight news, China’s central bank lowered the yuan’s peg against the U.S. dollar to its lowest level in four years, reports said. The move by the People’s Bank of China is meant to create better demand for China’s goods on the world market. Another report from China Wednesday said producer prices were down 5.9% from year-ago levels.
