Central Bank Warns Currency Speculators

The Chinese yuan’s onshore exchange rate against the greenback recently plunged to 7.2458 for every dollar, the lowest since January 2008. The yuan’s latest slump came just 日々 after the exchange rate between the two currencies breached the 1:7 マーク. Since then — September 15, 2022 — the yuan has now depreciated by over 3%.

全体, the Chinese yuan has lost over 12% 米国に対して. dollar since the start of the year. According to a Reuters 報告, the Chinese yuan, just like other global currencies, has struggled against the dollar ever since the U.S. Federal Reserve began marginally increasing interest rates.

The interest rate hikes are a tool being used by the U.S. Federal Reserve to tame the country’s inflation rate which peaked で 9.1% in June 2022.

でも, following the yuan’s slump to its lowest exchange rate in more than 14 年, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) has reportedly said it will now prioritize stabilizing the yuan.

In addition to reassuring the markets, the PBOC also warned of repercussions likely to be faced by those betting against the yuan. The PBOC reportedly said:

Do not bet on one-way appreciation or depreciation of the yuan, as losses will definitely be incurred in the long term.

Instead of betting against the currency, the central bank urged players in the currency markets to “voluntarily safeguard the stability of the market, and be firm when they need to iron out big rallies or declines in the exchange rate.”

China’s Stealthy Intervention

As per a Bloomberg 報告, the Chinese central bank’s warning is aimed at corporates that are accused of placing speculative bets against the yuan. The warning is also directed at financial institutions reportedly violating the country’s policies.

Before the yuan’s September 28 fall, the POBC reportedly signaled its intention to “dampen speculative demand” by imposing a risk reserve requirement ratio (RRRR) の 20% on financial institutions purchasing foreign exchange via currency forwards. あ 報告 in the South China Morning Post, which quotes analysts from Goldman Sachs, suggested that the PBOC hoped raising the RRRR would slow down the yuan’s depreciation ahead of The Chinese Communist Party’s 20th Congress.

その間, Grant Wilson, a senior adviser at macro advisory and data analytics firm Exante Data, insisted in a recent op-ed that Chinese monetary authorities may have already resorted to secretly helping the yuan. でも, since the intervention is by stealth, it only shows up “on the balance sheet of China’s state banks as net foreign currency assets, rather than in the PBOC’s official reserves.”

Wilson argued that Chinese authorities are intervening in this way because this will limit the yuan’s appreciation while supporting exports. The fear of being labeled a currency manipulator is another reason why Chinese monetary authorities may have chosen to intervene secretly.

“The stability of official reserves ensures that China does not meet one of three criteria used by the U.S. Treasury to label a country a currency manipulator,” explained Wilson.
