Economist Andy Xie says the yuan could fall another 10 percent against the dollar if US tariffs on Chinese goods rise to 25 percent at year-end. The US imposed 10 percent tariffs on $200 billion of Chinese imports on September 24, with the rate set to rise on January 1, 2019.
A sharp yuan depreciation would make US soybeans and other feed ingredients considerably more expensive for Chinese buyers, reinforcing the demand loss from tariffs and pressuring US export prices.
