The US dollar was seen sliding against the Chinese yuan

1 jul 2020

Earlier this week, the US dollar was seen sliding against the Chinese yuan thanks to the upbeat results from mainland China’s economy. Unfortunately for the Chinese yuan, it wasn’t able to hold on to its gains in the sessions thanks to the recent news about rate cuts from the People’s Bank of China. The pair is now projected to rally towards resistance level in the coming sessions, a feat that should bolster the 50-day moving average against the 200-day moving average. Earlier this week, the Chinese manufacturing PMI from June showed a gradual improvement from 50.6% to about 50.9%, topping projections of about 5.4%. Aside from that, the Caixin manufacturing PMI for June also showed an increase in the private manufacturing sector from 50.7% to about 51.2%. the main source of the yuan’s weakness is the decision of the PBOC to set its midpoint rate earlier today, giving room for bullish investors to thrive in the trading sessions.
