Reuters exclusively reported that in a rare attempt to bolster China’s yuan, a self-regulatory body overseen by the country’s central bank has told major state-owned banks to lower dollar deposit interest rates.
Market Impact
Lowering dollar deposit interest rates could encourage Chinese firms, especially exporters, to settle foreign exchange receipts in yuan , which has weakened to six-month lows against the dollar. The buoyant U.S. currency and the Federal Reserve’s interest rate hikes have prompted many Chinese companies to hoard dollar receipts.
