Key quotes
“Elevated uncertainty related to the pandemic and global growth will likely lead to ongoing weakening pressure on the CNY.”
“Yield-hungry flows might find Chinese assets attractive on China’s relative growth outperformance compared to the rest of the world and provide a floor for the CNY versus the dollar.”
“The Chinese authorities are not interested in a strong CNY that would put further strain on exports. They are likely ready to intervene, should the CNY face heavy selling pressure.”
