USD/CNY Likely to Average 7.45 in 2H -- Market Talk

Dow Jones07-25

0459 GMT - USD/CNY is likely to average 7.45 through 2H, according to BofA analysts in a research note. The PBOC is managing the yuan's depreciation carefully, however, its recent cuts to the seven-day reverse repo rate and loan prime rates were a concession that monetary easing is needed to support economic growth, which will create a bearish CNY bias, the analysts say. Factors such as divergent U.S.-China macroeconomic cycles and the widening U.S.-China yield gap may also impact the CNY's performance. USD/CNY is currently traded at 7.26. (tracy.qu@wsj.com)
