Chinese Yaun to Take First Place from U.S. Dollar / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Ned_W_Schmidt
Our headline came from the T-shirt of a young soccer player. Her opinion of coming in second in a tournament was quite clear. For her, getting a trophy for second place was the equivalent of getting the trophy for first loser. In soccer, no one wants to win second place. Same is true for currencies as being ranked in second place is indeed acknowledging one has become first loser.

Wake-Up Call for America: China’s Currency Growing Worldwide / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: InvestmentContrarian
Sasha Cekerevac writes: While many people are aware that the Chinese economy is now the second-largest in the world, China’s currency, the yuan or renminbi, is also moving upward in the world rankings in terms of global transactions.
According to the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT), the world’s global payment system, the yuan has moved up from 20th in the rankings in January 2012 to 14th position in December 2012. The Chinese yuan is now above the Danish kroner in terms of global payments.

Chinese Dragon To Unshackle Renminbi? / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Axel_Merk
With the Year of the Dragon around the corner, will the renminbi be unshackled? Will there be a surge in domestic consumption, or will a housing bust weigh on the economy, dragging down global economic growth? To understand how dynamics may play out in China, try to put yourself into the shoes of the proverbial Chinese consumer. Better yet, put yourself into hundreds of millions of such shoes…

By: Dr_Jeff_Lewis
On Monday, the first gold contracts denominated in the Chinese Renminbi (also known informally as “yuan”) came to the Hong Kong market. Analysts have been quick to note the implications of a yuan-denominated contract, realizing that the new contract could drive nearly three times as much demand as the dollar-denominated contract.

Global Trade and the Yuan Chinese Currency / Currencies / China Currency Yuan

"How soon will the Chinese natural resource demand decrease? The Chinese population is significantly larger than every individual country's population in the world (except India)." Is China the New North? Assessing the Impact of Chinese Trade with Latin America, Brookings Institution
"In terms of long-term structural trends, demand is now driven by an urbanization process that is far more structural than consensus generally believes. On our analysis, China is only 20 to 25 per cent along the path towards being a mature materials market and it may take at least six to nine years before demand intensity peaks."

By: Money_Morning
Kerri Shannon writes:
China has started diversifying away from the U.S. dollar, yet another sign that it's time to invest in the yuan.
A report from Standard Chartered Bank last week showed China's foreign exchange reserves expanded by $196 billion in the first four months of this year. About 75% of that investment was in non-U.S. dollar assets.

China Takes Tentative Steps Towards Global Currency / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Trader_Mark
The move of the yuan as a global currency is a very important one in the long run, as it will have potentially dramatic effects on the U.S. dollar as the sole reserve currency but for now things are going along at a snail pace. In the interim, the Chinese currency is essentially pegged to the U.S. dollar (for better or worse). Until the % of growth in China from exports is reduced, and they are far more reliant on internal consumption I don't see this loose peg changing anytime soon. Longer term, with 3 ugly ducklings (euro, dollar, yen) dominating the world's FX markets, the cart will eventually be turned over when a country (or region) coming from a position of fiscal strength rather than weakness enters the fray.

New China Yuan Policy Presents Investors with the "Trade of the Century" / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Money_Morning
Keith Fitz-Gerald writes:
When the state-owned Bank of China Ltd. (BOC) recently announced that it would begin allowing U.S.-based customers to trade the Chinese yuan here, it represented the biggest step yet in China's ongoing campaign to build global acceptance for its currency.
That desire to boost interest in the yuan in the global currency and trade markets is bolstered by the fact that Beijing's foreign-exchange reserves have now reached a staggering $2.8 trillion.

By: Jesse

How to Put a Stronger China Yuan Currency to Work for You / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Money_and_Markets
Jeff Manera writes: China has perpetually managed its currency, the yuan, to be undervalued. Estimates range from 30 percent to 40 percent on the amount the currency would appreciate if it was allowed to freely float with market forces.
This “management” has given China’s exporters an unfair advantage over other export-driven countries, such as Japan and South Korea, and has provided much of the rocket fuel that made China’s incredible expansion and growth possible.

China Yuan Currency Revaluation Not All Good for the U.S. / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Hans_Wagner
The Obama administration and many in congress have been aggressively calling for a revaluation of the Chinese yuan vs. the United States dollar. As of September 22, the yuan has climbed for nine straight days setting fresh records against the dollar as the Chinese central bank changed the parity rate of the yuan to the dollar. As with any change, there are winners and there are losers because of the action by the Chinese government.

The Case for the Yuan: Why China’s Currency Isn’t the Problem Policymakers Make it Out to Be / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Money_Morning
Jason Simpkins writes: By allowing the yuan to appreciate, China at least temporarily placated foreign trade partners that had expressed concern about the currency's value. However, the decision has done little to quell criticism from many U.S. policymakers and trade groups who are angry that the Obama administration refuses to brand China a "currency manipulator."

Stronger Chinese Yuan Investor Profit Opportunities / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Tony_Sagami
You probably had some Fourth of July celebrations on your mind last Friday, but there were some important developments for anybody invested in or thinking about getting into the Chinese stock market.
The Chinese yuan rose to a modern-era high against the U.S. dollar last week after the People’s Bank of China set the dollar-yuan exchange rate at 6.7720 yuan per dollar, a record low since China permitted its currency to trade against other foreign currencies in 1980.

What if the Chinese Let the Renminbi Float and Nothing Much Happened? / Currencies / China Currency Yuan
By: Paul_L_Kasriel
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) announced Saturday night that it would gradually relax the peg between the renminbi and a basket of currencies (primarily the U.S. dollar). This is the resumption of a policy the PBOC had initiated in mid 2005 and suspended in mid 2008. Although there are political motivations for the resumption of a controlled renminbi float - to deflect scapegoating at the upcoming Toronto G-20 confab and to get Senator Schumer off the backs of Chinese officials - there is a domestic economic motivation as well.

Axel Merk and Kieran Osborne write: Recently, there has been a lot of news and evidence supporting the likelihood of the Chinese authorities allowing the Chinese currency, the yuan or renminbi (CNY), to trade within a wider trading band.
