The Chinese yuan weakened against the U.S. dollar in the pre-European session on Friday, as regional shares fell after Britain decided to leave the European Union in its historic referendum.

Against the greenback, the yuan fell to a 5-1/2-year low of 6.6206 from an early high of 6.5702. At yesterday's close, the yuan was trading at 6.5740 against the greenback.

If the yuan extends its downtrend, it is likely to find support around the 6.65 area.
