周三,离岸人民币微涨至约7.16元兑1美元,触及两周多来的最高水平,投资者密切关注美中贸易关系的发展。周二,美国财政部长斯科特·贝森特宣布,美国和中国官员将于下周在斯德哥尔摩举行第三轮高级别会谈,此前他最近在日内瓦和伦敦与中国副总理何立峰进行了面对面的会谈,旨在就可能将目前贸易紧张局势的暂停延长至8月中旬以后进行谈判。正在进行的讨论旨在制定一项临时贸易休战协议,以缓解日益加剧的关税僵局中的紧张局势,两国已经征收了高达三位数的关税,并引发了对双边贸易严重中断的担忧。从外部来看,在特朗普总统在即将到来的关税最后期限之前宣布与日本达成贸易协议后,人民币的升值也得到了美元疲软的支持。
The offshore yuan edged higher to around 7.16 per dollar on Wednesday, hitting its highest level in over two weeks, as investors kept a close eye on developments in US-China trade relations. On Tuesday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announced that American and Chinese officials will meet in Stockholm next week for a third round of high-level talks, following his recent in-person meetings with Chinese Vice Premier He Lifeng in Geneva and London, aimed at negotiating a likely extension of the current pause in trade tensions beyond mid-August. The ongoing discussions aim to craft a provisional trade truce designed to ease tensions in the intensifying tariff standoff, which has already seen both nations impose steep, triple-digit duties and sparked fears of a severe disruption to bilateral trade. Externally, the yuan's appreciation was also supported by a weaker greenback, after President Trump's announcement of a trade agreement with Japan ahead of a looming tariff deadline.
