The USD/CNY is expected to trade with a 6.95 resistance at the moment, partly due to local stock markets that are struggling with mounting risks in share-pledged loans.
However, when the risks from share-backed loans are mitigated and eliminated properly, the dollar/yuan will likely be allowed to rally through the 7.00 mark particularly if the dollar strengthens across the board and if the US-China tensions escalate further.
The yuan will continue facing depreciation pressure amid China’s economic slowdown and the US-China tensions. In addition, we note the 3M USD Libor has resumed its upward trend since mid-September.
Macro data have casted a shadow on China’s growth outlook. The nation’s outstanding total social financing (TSF) including state government special bonds increased at a slower pace in September. The broad measure of credit and liquidity in the economy grew 10.6 percent only to CNY197.3 trillion last month.
