RMB Exchange Rate Temporarily Difficult To Choose Side Stations Need To Be Vigilant Against Depreciation Expectations Warming

China's economic data, which was published recently, worried the market. The trade deficit and industrial added value in February were less than expected, and the market began to believe that there was an inherent reason for the collapse of the RMB in the month, which was reflected in the recent devaluation of the forward exchange rate.

When China's downward pressure on the economy has been resolved, it has become the most concerned issue in the market.

On the one hand, the central bank executives repeatedly stressed that the exchange rate will tend to be two-way fluctuations. On the one hand, the premier of the State Council, while admits the pressure of economic downturns, also conveys confidence that the exchange rate market will not be able to judge the direction of P.

After P entered into March, the exchange rate difference between the offshore and offshore markets almost disappeared, and the two sides fluctuated narrowly around the middle price, while the shore dollar point of departure increased, and the demand for long-term purchase of foreign exchange increased.

A year away, it was still at a discount at the beginning of the month, but on Friday it touched 385 ideas.
