The USD/CNY currency pair is expected to fluctuate within a range of 6.70-6.90 over the coming months, with the USD/CNH pair trading at a premium to the former, with the central bank’s efforts managing market expectations of the yuan exchange rate, according to the latest research report from Scotiabank.
Meanwhile, if there is a positive progress in the US-China trade dispute, it will improve risk sentiment across the markets. However, if the two countries fail to reach a trade deal finally in the future, the yuan will face escalating depreciation pressure as China may seek the help of a floating exchange rate to absorb external shocks.
