What's the significance of the reference rate? It's a 'mid point', the People's Bank of China will allow USD/CNY to trade plus or minus 2% around this price. USD/CNY is managed by the central bank, it doesn't float.

There is an 'offshore' yuan, the CNH, and it can trade without the +/- 2% restriction.
