0911 GMT - The yuan strengthens modestly against the dollar after news of the U.S.-China trade ceasefire and could appreciate further near term, ING's Lynn Song says in a note. The USD/CNY pair is now trading at a lower level than before "Liberation Day," despite monetary easing by the People's Bank of China and the back-and-forth tariff developments, the economist says in a note. Positive news could encourage capital inflows and support further CNY strengthening in the short term, though how this will balance out with what may also be conditions for a USD recovery is hard to gauge at this point, Song says. ING keeps its forecast band of 7.00-7.40 unchanged. USD/CNY last at 7.21, USD/CNH last at 7.20. (fabiana.negrinochoa@wsj.com)
