But, dealers do not see supply and demand enjoying free rein, according to the Reuters.

"The yuan has moved around 80 points up or down since its revaluation, and we believe it could move in a range of more than 100 points in coming weeks -- not days," said a dealer at a foreign bank.

Announcing the revaluation, the central bank said it was switching to a managed float based on market supply and demand, with reference to a basket of currencies.

The central bank has also said that the currency could move up or down as much as 0.3 percent per day against the dollar. But in the whole period since the revaluation the yuan has moved in a range only a third as big.
