USD/CNH was last near 7.1050, little changed for the session. Ranges so far today have been 7.0906-7.1097. Markets await the US election outcome, with Tuesday USD/CNH overnight vol topping 30%, so volatility is clearly expected today. USD/CNY spot finished up at 7.1047 on Tuesday.
- The overnight implied probability puts the USD/CNH range at 6.9750-7.2077, with a 70% probability. For the next week, the implied range is slightly wider at 6.9321-7.2475.
- Outside of US election risks, where the yuan is clearly seen at risk from Trump win/Republican red wave, we are also watching for details of the current NPC.
- Governor Pan recommended to the NPC that both monetary and fiscal policy should continue to be accommodative and that the intensity of countercyclical adjustments should increase.
- His statements followed news of the committee’s discussions on lifting the debt ceiling for local governments and is being interpreted by some as a hint of caution.
