Oxford Economics forecasts the renminbi will weaken toward CNY7 per dollar in the second half of 2022 from 6.65-6.79 in May, before rebounding in 2023. It cites zero-Covid policy uncertainty, monetary policy divergence with the US, and possible tariff easing as factors.
A weaker yuan would raise China's cost of dollar-priced grain and oilseed imports, potentially dampening Chinese buying interest, while forecasts of weakness reflect tepid Chinese demand.
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.
