章节 20 USDCNH: Depreciation of Renminbi Continues with Weaker Imports and Exports(8.14)
Trading Review
During Asian hours on Monday (August 14), the intermediate price of USDCNH is near 7.1686, up 99 basis points compared with the previous value. Last week, the yuan fluctuated upward to 7.24 mark from 7.19, and its depreciation continued after it rose to 7.20 mark on Tuesday. Today, the yuan has once again approached the former high of 7.2850. Last Tuesday's intermediate price perhaps confuses investors, it was adjusted to 7.1565 from 7.1365, and its market is hard to maintain the exchange rate stability. The 7.20 mark is not important anymore. China's stock market northward funds last week see a net outflow of 5 consecutive days, and the following release of the July import and export data is also less than expected. The depreciation is more fluid. This morning, the highest depreciation is to 7.2810, near the former high of 7.2850. Perhaps the logic of the trend of the yuan needs to be readjusted, and the data in August is likely to be worse. It is necessary to release some depreciation pressure first. If the intermediate price is above 7.20, perhaps the CNH will be near 7.30. From the weekly perspective, the CNH is still in 6.7-7.29, and breaking through it may also be difficult. In the next period, it may still fluctuate at a high level, and there is not much room for surging.
As for the data, China's July CPI fell 0.3% year-on-year, expected to fall 0.5%, and the previous value was flat.
