离岸人民币兑美元汇率保持在7.12左右,横盘整理,周末数据显示,中国10月份消费者价格意外上涨0.2%,从9月份0.3%的跌幅反弹,打破了没有变化的预测。上个月生产者价格指数下跌2.1%,为14个月来最低跌幅。这些数据是在上周贸易数据显示出口意外下降和进口放缓之后公布的。在贸易方面,北京取消了对美国的“两用物品”出口禁令,包括镓、锗、锑和超硬材料,并豁免了荷兰公司Nexperia的民用芯片,帮助缓解了汽车制造商的供应短缺。上个月,中国和美国同意将临时贸易休战再延长一年,并在关键问题上做出让步。与此同时,中国人民银行将美元/人民币参考汇率定为7.0856,强于市场预期。
The offshore yuan remained around 7.12 per dollar, trading in a sideways range as weekend data showed consumer prices in China unexpectedly rose 0.2% in October, rebounding from a 0.3% decline in September and defying forecasts for no change. Producer prices fell 2.1% last month, the softest decrease in 14 months. Those figures followed trade data last week pointing to a surprise decline in exports and slowing imports. On the trade front, Beijing lifted its export ban on “dual-use items” including gallium, germanium, antimony, and super-hard materials to the US, and granted exemptions for Dutch firm Nexperia’s chips for civilian use, helping ease supply shortages for automakers. Last month, China and the US agreed to extend their temporary trade truce for another year with concessions on key issues. Meanwhile, the People’s Bank of China set the USD/CNY reference rate at 7.0856, stronger than market expectations.
