In April 9, 2008, the exchange rate of the RMB against the US dollar was 7.002, rising to 6.9916 in April 10th, and then returning to 7.006 in April 11th, then rising to 6.9990 again in April 14th. Since then, the renminbi has left the 7 era against the US dollar.
In 2016, the Fed's interest rate increase, Trump's election and Britain's withdrawal led to a stronger dollar, resulting in a three close to the 7 yuan mark in the year and a nearly 6.83% depreciation in the whole year. The central bank eventually used 1/4's foreign exchange reserves to crack down on the international short selling organization, keeping the exchange rate at the "7" barrier.
At the end of December 2016, the offshore RMB exchange rate dropped to 6.9880 yuan against the US dollar, but from January 2, 2017, the offshore RMB exchange rate rebounded for three consecutive days, and in January 2, 2017 and 3, it rose 1.33% and 1.13% respectively.
Similar to 2017, the offshore RMB exchange rate dropped to 6.9580 yuan against the US dollar in August 15, 2018, and was less than 500 basis points from the 7 yuan pass. But after approaching 7 yuan, in August 24th, the China Foreign Exchange Trading Center announced that the Yuan's quotation for the middle price of the US dollar would restart the "counter cyclical factor". RMB rebounded sharply In August 24th, the offshore RMB exchange rate staged a "thousand point counterattack" from around 6.9 yuan, up to 6.7996 yuan, rebounding nearly 1000 basis points compared with the low point of the day. In August 27th, the exchange rate of offshore RMB rose to 6.79 yuan, creating a new high since August.
In October 31, 2018, the official closing price of the yuan against the US dollar fell by 121 basis points to 6.9734 on the previous day, the first time since May 2008, the official closing price of the yuan against the US dollar has dropped to 6.97. But then, In November 1st, the RMB exchange rate staged a "big counter attack", and the RMB exchange rate continued to rebound strongly in November 2nd. Within 48 hours, the renminbi rose from the lowest 6.97 to nearly ten points against the US dollar, rising 1000 points in two days and 1.3% in appreciation.
Although several times close to 7 yuan mark, but since the 2008 financial crisis, the RMB exchange rate has never broken 7 in 11 years.
Institutional Analysis
In the Reuters's June survey, about half of the 31 foreign exchange strategy analysts believe that the renminbi will not break 7 against the US dollar in the near future. But 12 people think that the next 12 months will break 7, and one of them thinks that 7 will be broken within one month. Other strategist says it will take place more than a year later.
Goldman Sachs's latest research report lowered the forecast of RMB / US dollar in 3 months, 6 months and 12 months to 7.05, 6.95 and 6.80 respectively.
Many analysts are watching the G20 summit at the end of June. "All eyes remain on the G20 summit," Zhang Jiantai, Mizuho bank's foreign exchange strategist, wrote in the report. "If the US and China fail to reach any agreement at the G20 summit, the US tariff increases will threaten the RMB 7 yuan test."
The G20 summit will be held in Osaka, Japan from June 27th to June 30th.
Official voice
Since May 19th, four central bank leaders have repeatedly shouted to the market, emphasizing China. It has the basis, confidence and ability to maintain the basic stability of the RMB exchange rate at a balanced and reasonable level. The regulatory authorities have accumulated rich experience in dealing with exchange rate fluctuations and have sufficient policy instruments. The foreign exchange market will not "cause trouble" nor allow "trouble". Speculative short selling is bound to suffer huge losses.
This has not only played a role in appeasing market sentiment but also deterred market bears.
In June 7th, when the offshore RMB exchange rate plummeted, Yi Gang, President of the people's Bank of China, made an urgent response. He said that if the Sino US trade war worsened, China had enough policy space to deal with it, including the benchmark interest rate and deposit rate. Yi Gang believes that flexible RMB exchange rate regime is very beneficial. The Central Bank of China has not intervened in the foreign exchange market for a long time and will continue to adopt such a market mechanism. Yi Gang said. Do not think that a specific number (exchange rate) will be more important.
In addition, there is another news worth noticing recently. In June 11th, the people's Bank of China announced that it would issue RMB central bank bills in Hongkong in late June. After the announcement, the offshore renminbi rose 200 basis points against the US dollar, rising from the lowest 0.9483 in the day and recovering the 6.93 pass.
The industry believes that issuing the central bank in the offshore RMB market is a means to regulate offshore RMB liquidity, so as to raise offshore market interest rates and stabilize the RMB exchange rate.
