USD/CNY Fundamental Analysis April 17, 2012 ForecastAnalysis and Recommendation: (close of Asian session)
The USD/CNY has climbed in todays trading to 6.3129 moving off the low of 6.2987 as the USD picked up momentum. Continued worries over the slowdown in China and growing debt in Spain and Italy, investors continued to move to safety. Although the numbers in the US have been mixed and confusing, there is no doubt that the economy is improving. The worries about China, are the longer term effects of the continued economic problems in Europe.
The currency fluctuation may also be a result of the new flexibility of the Chinese currency.
The Chinese government announced on Saturday that it would allowthe renminbito vary more in value againstthe dollarduring each days trading, but gave no hint that it would accept the Obama administrations demands to allow the currency to show a longer-term trend of appreciation against the dollar.
