Key Quotes

“Given the divergence in monetary policy and the fact that CNY is more market based, we look for a further depreciation of the CNY (and CNH) of around 7% against the USD over the next 12 months”.

“Market pressure is expected to continue, although China has shown a stronger willingness to defend the currency by draining liquidity in the CNH market leading to higher CNH money market rates making it more expensive to speculate against the CNH”.
