+ This is the first month with decrease in the forex purchase position this year. In Q4 2011, the forex purchase position decreased for three consecutive months.
+ Slower growth in exports, and less FDI and hot money inflow are driving the downward trend in forex purchase. Meanwhile, foreign exchange demand might pick up if CNY depreciation expectations emerge.
