FUNTI's daily electric motorcycle market brief for October 4, 2026: raw material prices, overseas market regulation and China export data, compiled from public sources for importers, distributors and fleet operators.
FUNTI MARKET INTELLIGENCE · October 4, 2026
① Today's Highlights
- Three fixed dates in the first week after the holiday need scheduling in advance: October 8 reopening of domestic commodity and interbank FX markets, October 9 mandatory effect of Vietnam's new national standard for e-motorcycle batteries (QCVN 31:2026/BXD), and October 28 the first-review deadline for 2027 vehicle and motorcycle export licence applications. Takeaway: the real policy and market moves are all packed into the two weeks after the holiday; getting testing and filing documents ready during the holiday beats waiting for daily news (public information, 2026-10-04).
② Raw Materials & FX
- Bank counter rates are the only new quote today: Bank of China's October 4 board shows the USD cash remittance selling rate at RMB 672.69 per 100 USD and the BOC conversion rate at 673.51, the EUR cash remittance selling rate at RMB 758.03, THB selling rate at RMB 20.09 and VND conversion rate at RMB 0.0258. Takeaway: the bank board is the only FX data updated daily during the holiday; USD settlement should still be stress-tested at "within 6.70" (Bank of China, 2026-10-04).
- Metal prices and the RMB central parity are still frozen for the holiday: domestic commodity futures, spot and interbank FX markets are closed from October 1 to 7, with metal quotes and the RMB central parity resuming on October 8. Takeaway: do not lock long-cycle lithium or metal procurement during the holiday; wait for the opening gap on the first trading day to set the negotiating benchmark (SHFE / CFETS holiday schedule, 2026-10-04).
③ Overseas Markets
- A new low-tax window in Latin America: Bolivia's Supreme Decree No. 5653 sets a 0% excise rate on imported battery electric vehicles (including motorcycles, pickups, trucks and other special-purpose vehicles), with hybrids at 0%–20% by type, valid until December 31, 2026. Takeaway: Bolivia is the lowest-barrier incremental window in Latin America this round; small trial orders are feasible but must be scheduled backwards from the year-end expiry (MOFCOM reprint / Bolivian daily La Razón, 2026-07-10).
- Policy check for the rest of Southeast Asia and Latin America: this search found no new two-wheeler access, tariff or subsidy documents for October 4; previously reported items such as Vietnam's battery standard, Brazil's CKD quota and Mexico's tariff-code increases show no new progress and are not repeated (public information, 2026-10-04).
