So why all this talk about the CNY weakness? (adapted from the article)
"In short, the Yuan weakness gives China a comparative and possibly absolute manufacturing and export advantage that could encourage the aggressive fiscal policy stimulus that would naturally align with the “yield curve control’ announced on September 21."
"On Monday, the Chinese Renminbi (off-short Yuan) fell by its largest amount in four months after China opened following National Day Golden Week holiday. The drop amounted to 0.46% for the Yuan but continues to validate the trend of a stronger USD and weaker CNH. The weakening took the Yuan to its lowest level (6.7501) since September 2010 according to Bloomberg data."
"The weakening aligns with China FX reserves shows a rising amount of
capital is leaving. The increase in capital flows could bring volatility
to global markets as the world awaits the next move by the Federal
Reserve that could bring down the Yuan and is encouraging wealthy
citizens of China to move their money overseas in yuan amid Yuan
depreciation expectations.
So why all this talk about the CNY weakness? In short, the Yuan weakness
gives China a comparative and possibly absolute manufacturing and
export advantage that could encourage the aggressive fiscal policy
stimulus that would naturally align with the “yield curve control’

[CNY - GDP] = Change in the inflation-adjusted value of all goods and services produced by the economy.
==========From reuters article: China third quarter GDP grows 6.7 percent as expected as construction booms, debt rises
- Some economists believe Beijing has had to "double down" on stimulus this year to meet its official growth range of 6.5 to 7 percent, and say the government's obsession with meeting hard targets may hurt both planned reforms and the long-term health of the world's second-largest economy. "So far this year they have clearly chosen to do everything they can to meet the growth targets, and now there is a little bit of an upward surprise from the housing market which actually will help them with GDP growth this year," said Louis Kuijs, head Of Asia economics at Oxford Economics in Hong Kong.
- "The question really is, is the leadership willing to move to somewhat lower growth targets in order to put growth on a more sustainable footing, or will it feel obliged to continue to hang on to those very high growth targets."
