CHINA
- China's FX regulator SAFE states the FX market has operated steadily across August, with CNY expectations broadly stable for now.
- The headlines follow clear concern around yuan depreciation among the China authorities, with today's fixing being the weakest relative to expectations since early 2020 at -120pips.
- Historically, the fixing trend has been used to slow the direction of the CNY rather than alter the trend. The market may still feel relative fundamentals are skewed towards higher USD/CNH levels, particularly with further monetary easing possible from China before year end.
- Overnight, we wrote Market Implied Probabilities Still Suggest USD/CNH Can Breach 7.00 Before Year-End: https://marketnews.com/market-implied-probabilitie...
- Nonetheless, the CNH NEER FX rate is little changed across August and remains well off the YTD lows printed in May, which may soothe concerns among the Chinese authorities for now:
