MUFG economists expect USD/CNY to decline in 2021 as the renminbi strengthened after the NYSE dropped plans to delist three Chinese state-run telecoms groups. They attribute the renminbi's rebound to expectations of a less combative US approach toward China under the incoming Biden administration.
Expectations of easing US-China trade tensions and a firmer yuan could support Chinese import demand for US commodities. The effect on feed prices is indirect.
After 362 past bearish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (42% higher; middle half -0.4% to +0.1%), and -0.2% over 20.
