There is room for appreciation in the future
As for the reasons for the recent strengthening of the RMB exchange rate, Zhao Wei, chief economist of China International Finance Securities, analyzed that the rapid weakening of the U.S. dollar is the direct driver of the strengthening of the RMB exchange rate, while the rapid fall in U.S. bond interest rates is the main reason for the weakening of the U.S. dollar. “The external pressure from the U.S. dollar has weakened, which has accumulated momentum for the strengthening of the RMB.” Nanhua Futures Research Report believes.
The domestic economy has stabilized and rebounded, and the overlay policies have released a strong signal of “stabilizing expectations”, which will help the RMB maintain stability.
Pang Ming, chief economist and director of the research department of Jones Lang LaSalle Greater China, said that with the intensification of monetary, fiscal and other policy adjustments, China’s economic recovery has further consolidated its positive momentum, and the fundamental support for the RMB exchange rate is expected to gradually strengthen. , China’s foreign exchange market will continue to operate steadily.
Looking forward to the market outlook, factors conducive to the stability of the RMB exchange rate are gradually accumulating, and there is still room for a slight appreciation of the RMB exchange rate. “On the one hand, exporters have demands for foreign exchange settlement and repayment before the end of the year and the Spring Festival, and the supply of U.S. dollars in the foreign exchange market will increase; on the other hand, due to the strong demand during holidays in Europe and the United States, the end of the year is the peak season for exports, usually in November and December. “Exports will rebound month-on-month. If exports continue to recover, the RMB exchange rate may receive positive support.” Li Liuyang said that the current round of RMB exchange rate rebound is not over yet, and the RMB exchange rate may enter a two-way fluctuation stage.
Wang Chunying said that in the future, as various domestic policies are implemented accurately and implemented, and positive factors continue to accumulate, the supporting role of economic fundamentals in the foreign exchange market will be further consolidated. In addition, the market generally believes that the Fed’s interest rate hike cycle is nearing the end, and the spillover impact on the international financial market will be moderated.
