由于交易员对中国最近的通胀数据做出反应,离岸人民币兑美元汇率小幅上涨至7.26左右。数据显示,5月份消费者价格稳步上涨,而生产者价格通缩略有缓解,这表明中国政府刺激经济的努力开始显示出积极的结果。然而,更强有力的刺激措施对于提振国内需求和促进经济复苏仍然是必要的,瑞穗证券的Ken Cheung表示,需要更有力的刺激措施来支持通货膨胀、消费、就业市场和住房。与此同时,有报道称,在美中紧张局势升级之际,拜登政府可能会对中国获得人工智能芯片技术施加额外限制,交易员们对此采取了谨慎立场。投资者现在期待着即将发布的美国通胀报告和美联储的利率决定,以及中国的重要经济指标,特别是信贷数据。
The offshore yuan edged higher to around 7.26 per dollar as traders reacted to recent Chinese inflation figures. The data revealed that consumer prices increased steadily in May, while producer price deflation eased slightly, suggesting that the Chinese government’s efforts to stimulate the economy are beginning to show positive results. However, stronger stimulus measures are still deemed necessary for bolstering domestic demand and facilitating economic recovery, with Ken Cheung from Mizuho Securities stating the need for more robust stimulus to support inflation, consumption, job market, and the housing. Meanwhile, traders adopted a cautious stance after a report that the Biden administration might impose additional restrictions on China's access to AI chip technology amid escalating US-China tensions. Investors now look ahead to the upcoming US inflation report and Fed's interest rate decision, along with significant economic indicators from China, particularly credit lending data.
