The Wall Street Journal reported the US may press China to strengthen the yuan to pre-trade-war levels when trade talks resume at month-end. Onshore and offshore yuan rates moved within a narrow range, and offshore yuan rates rose to their largest increase since 2016.
A possible yuan revaluation under trade-talk pressure could make US farm exports relatively cheaper for China, a supportive factor for soybean and corn demand if talks progress. The report is based on sources and the outcome is uncertain.
After 40 past bullish trade events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median +0.6% over 5 sessions (75% higher; middle half +0.0% to +1.4%), and +1.1% over 20.
