USD/CNH softens as PBOC fix signals RMB strength – OCBC

USD/CNH remains offered after a softer USD/CNY fixing, the lowest since May 2023, reinforcing policymakers’ signal toward a gradual RMB appreciation path. USD/CNH last seen at 6.9668, OCBC’s FX analysts Sim Moh Siong and Christopher Wong note.

PBOC comfort with RMB appreciation caps USD/CNH

“USD/CNH continued to trade with an offered tone amid softer USD/CNY fixing. Yesterday fix was set at 7.0064 (vs. 7.0120 on Wed). This is also the lowest USD/CNY fix set since May 2023. We reiterate that stronger CNY fix continues to be a key signaling tool in guiding RMB on an appreciation path.”

“PBOC deputy Governor Zou Lan said there is no need to gain a competitive advantage in international trade through currency depreciation. He mentioned that the break of 7-threshold was due to USD weakening and easing tensions between US and China. The comments suggest that policymakers are likely comfortable with the pace of RMB appreciation. We continue to expect measured pace of RMB appreciation unless circumstances change.”

“Daily momentum is mild bullish while RSI eased lower. Sideways trading likely to persist in the interim. Support at 6.96/6.97 (double bottom). Decisive break may accelerate the decline, with next support closer to 6.9460/6.95. Resistance at 6.9920 (21 DMA), 7.03 levels.”

EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data

The post EUR/CHF slides as Euro struggles post-inflation data appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. EUR/CHF weakens for a second straight session as the euro struggles to recover post-Eurozone inflation data. Eurozone core inflation steady at 2.3%, headline CPI eases to 2.0% in August. SNB maintains a flexible policy outlook ahead of its September 25 decision, with no immediate need for easing. The Euro (EUR) trades under pressure against the Swiss Franc (CHF) on Wednesday, with EUR/CHF extending losses for the second straight session as the common currency struggles to gain traction following Eurozone inflation data. At the time of writing, the cross is trading around 0.9320 during the American session. The latest inflation data from Eurostat showed that Eurozone price growth remained broadly stable in August, reinforcing the European Central Bank’s (ECB) cautious stance on monetary policy. The Core Harmonized Index of Consumer Prices (HICP), which excludes volatile items such as food and energy, rose 2.3% YoY, in line with both forecasts and the previous month’s reading. On a monthly basis, core inflation increased by 0.3%, unchanged from July, highlighting persistent underlying price pressures in the bloc. Meanwhile, headline inflation eased to 2.0% YoY in August, down from 2.1% in July and slightly below expectations. On a monthly basis, prices rose just 0.1%, missing forecasts for a 0.2% increase and decelerating from July’s 0.2% rise. The inflation release follows last week’s ECB policy decision, where the central bank kept all three key interest rates unchanged and signaled that policy is likely at its terminal level. While officials acknowledged progress in bringing inflation down, they reiterated a cautious, data-dependent approach going forward, emphasizing the need to maintain restrictive conditions for an extended period to ensure price stability. On the Swiss side, disinflation appears to be deepening. The Producer and Import Price Index dropped 0.6% in August, marking a sharp 1.8% annual decline. Broader inflation remains…
