Current yuan rate declines ahead of key central bank meetings

dollar to yuan rate

The dollar-to yuan exchange rate rose on Monday and traded slightly above the psychologically important level of 7. The pair is supported by expectations of Fed policy tightening this week.

The People’s Bank of China set the median rate at 6.9396 before market opening, versus 6.9305 on Friday. This time, as it has all along since August, the central bank set the median rate of its currency higher than markets expected to curb its weakening.

According to Maybank analysts, the higher current yuan rate could be a measure to offset the effects of the injection of funds into the financial system.

On Monday, the People’s Bank of China injected 12 billion yuan into short-term lending programs to meet increased demand for liquidity toward the end of the quarter and also lowered its 14-day repo rate. Increased liquidity injections and lower rates are naturally putting pressure on the yuan, analysts said.

On the continental market, the dollar to yuan rate opened at 6.9900 and was trading at 7.0080 at the time of writing. The dollar/offshore yuan pair was trading at 7.0128.

According to traders, the yuan remains under pressure ahead of key central bank meetings scheduled for this week. Market participants expect the Fed and the Bank of England to raise interest rates.

China, like Japan, is not tightening monetary policy to curb inflation, unlike many other countries. Beijing has focused on supporting the economy, and this divergence in the trajectory of funding conditions is putting pressure on the yuan.

Earlier we reported that the dollar is appreciating against most major currencies.

U.S. budget deficit

According to a report from the U.S. Treasury Department, the U.S. budget deficit in February was $262,434 billion compared to a $38.8 billion deficit in January. The Dow 30 also had problems.

Analysts at DailyFX suggested that the nation’s budget deficit for February was expected to be $256 billion. A year earlier, in February, the U.S. posted a budget deficit of $216,590 billion.

According to the GAO report, U.S. government spending rose 3.5 percent year over year last month to $524.548 billion, while revenue, in contrast, declined 9.5 percent to $262,114 billion.

Earlier, the U.S. edition of the Washington Post published an editorial stating that the new draft budget proposed by the Biden administration undermines U.S. national security and its ability to invest in the future, because it suggests a further growth of the U.S. national debt.

The WP editorial board noted that the new draft budget assumes a $2 trillion budget deficit, including due to the high cost of providing health insurance to the elderly of the baby boomer generation.

reduce energy consumption

The European Union has agreed to reduce the bloc’s energy consumption by 11.7 percent by 2030, Reuters reported.

“This will mean a real change in favor of the climate and to the detriment of Putin,” the Danish Niels Fulsang, the European Parliament’s lead negotiator, told the agency.

Initially, in 2021, the EU proposed to reduce consumption by 9%, but in May 2022, against the background of events in Ukraine, increased the target to 13% to quickly abandon Russian energy, writes Forbes. The European Parliament considered it necessary to reduce consumption by 14%. The DAX Index also had problems.

Some EU countries have continued to insist on a 9% cut. An all-night negotiation between the EU and the European Parliament resulted in a compromise: the energy consumption of EU end-users, such as households and businesses, must be 11.7 percent lower than expected in 2030.

The agreement must pass final approval by the European Parliament and EU countries before it can become legally binding.

Earlier, we reported that consumers expect lower inflation in the eurozone, higher wages.
