Cost recognition acceleration, but doesn't move the dollar Peg

Thursday, September 30, 2010

Chinese Yuan referred to a new level at CNY 6.69 USD. Considering that the Yuan has still only about 2%, as the peg has been weakened in June and most of them taking place in the last couple of weeks – still intense pressure on China to do more.

Statement last week the Bank of Japan will be redirected to the huge amount of attention to Yuan.In fact, many analysts argue that it is only from the Yuan-dollar peg (in itself, as well as Chinese buying assets yen it generates) that Japan was forced to act: "' countries to see that involve currency manipulation way to give yourself the advantages of ' ... ' China, they hit in Japan, and it strikes us." "The JPY also force the G20 to reemphasize Yuan and at least make some discussion at the next Summit.

It should be noted that two soundbites above example comes from the US congressmen, which is important because the u.s. Government is currently mulling action for Yuan currency peg. Politicians grows tired repeatedly call the Ministry of Finance of China "Paddle currency" for diplomatic negotiations, and even trade sanctions. Finance will be able to redeem itself in its next report on foreign exchange, due October 15th, but it is expected that the report will either delayed or released without an adequate solution of undervalued Yuan.

In fact, Treasury Secretary Geithner testified before Congress last week and at least admitted that what needs to be done: "the pace of appreciation too slow and too limited. We must find ways to change behavior. "However, it was only in response to criticism of acerbic-(Senator Schumer told him "I'm increasingly believed that the only person in this room, which considers China not manipulating its currency you.") – and he ultimately did not describe graphics/plan of action. Despite the consensus among politicians (and President Obama) that currency peg hurts the US economy Geithner made it clear that the Ministry of Finance continues to favour unilateral actions to resolve the problem without the intervention of the Congress. Then, now, politicians probably rattling Saber and name-calling.

China in response to this farce was predictable. Sales representatives hinted that China would not bow to external pressure, and that any attempt to "punish" will be met with compensatory measures.China also questioned the economy among the arguments that the dollar peg strengthens trade imbalances, the invocation of these claims "groundless." this position is supported by the fact that, while the Yuan against the dollar appreciated by 20% in 2005-2008, USA/China trade deficit has actually increased.

In practice, China is likely to stick to its policy of gradual Yuan appreciation or a couple of reasons.Firstly, while Chinese politicians know they don't have to completely placate U.S. politicians, they at least have to pretend that they listen to.It really depends on Chinese goods and the purchase of US Treasury bonds; however, it can be argued that just as THE US to buy it is dependent on exports, which contributes to employment and social stability, and he sought to avoid a trade war, if possible.

Second long-term appreciation of the Yuan is actually in the best interests of the people's Republic of China.If he wants to boost domestic consumption and contribute to higher value-added production need to be more valuable currency. Outbound M & A, particularly relating to natural resources company, will also be more economical if Yuan worth more also, if China has any serious ambitions of making Yuan in the global reserve currency, you must create a capital markets deeper and more liquid, which is currently the unmotivated to stimulate demand for Yuan for foreign institutional investors.

Finally, China should make it possible to evaluate because it is financially remunerated do Yuan as mentioned above, its trade surplus U.S. has increased over the past few years as prices for exports to grow together with the numbers at the same time, import prices and commodity prices and other natural resources fell Yuan terms; for this reason, I think China will probably continue to adhere to its current policies and allow cost still slowly inch up.
