Analysts expect the yuan to slide to 7.3 per dollar or weaker if Donald Trump wins the US presidency, especially with a Republican Congress. A Harris win could instead prompt a yuan rebound toward 7 per dollar, with the currency already under pressure before the vote.
A weaker yuan makes Chinese purchases of US feed grains and meal more expensive in dollar terms and can dampen Chinese import demand, a bearish factor for US soybeans and corn.
After 398 past bullish macro events, Chinese Yuan (CNY per USD) moved a median +0.0% over 5 sessions (56% higher; middle half -0.3% to +0.5%), and +0.0% over 20.
After 273 past bearish macro events, Soybeans moved a median -0.4% over 5 sessions (44% higher; middle half -2.4% to +1.4%), and -0.5% over 20.
