| | Forex Blog: Chinese Yuan (RMB) |
 | | When China revalued the Yuan last month, many Chinese conglomerates incurred massive losses on their foreign exchange holdings, which instantaneously depreciated 2% in real terms. | | | According to Frankel, the extent of the rise will be such that in a decade, the Chinese Yuan will be fairly valued against the USD, in real terms. | | | Last week, this correspondent reported that American politicians, frustrated by their inability to convince China to further revalue the Yuan, were planning on using the IMF as a vehicle for applying pressure to China. |

| | USATODAY.com - Newly liberated yuan could cool China tech |
| | A rising Chinese yuan could dampen the Chinese technology industry just as it tries to break into international markets. | | | China's government set tight parameters on how much the yuan could rise, so it's not likely to rise much in the short term. | | | That has given Chinese-made products a price advantage on world markets, and made it cheap for the West to invest in Chinese companies. |

| | China revalues yuan and ends fixed dollar peg - Jul. 21, 2005 |
| | The fixed rate between the yuan and the dollar has been blamed for the soaring trade gap between China and the United States, as it kept Chinese-made goods cheap here. | | | It's an attempt by the Chinese to do the least amount possible," said Morici, who estimated that the yuan is about 40 percent undervalued because of the trading restrictions. | | | A stronger yuan could also increase the sales U.S. exporters get from business with the world's largest country, one of the fastest growing consumer markets. |

| | The Yuan: A Baby -- but Key -- Step |
| | But none of that should detract from the significance of the July 21 decision by the People's Bank of China-- and no doubt by the highest echelons of Chinese President Hu Jintao's government -- to abandon the yuan's decade-old peg to the dollar. | | | So the move on the yuan was far too modest to make much of a dent in China's export juggernaut. | | | Second, the basket will likely allow China to keep the yuan in a tight range against the dollar, while giving the illusion of a market-based system. |

| | China Braces for a More Valuable Yuan - New York Times |
| | But while a strengthened yuan might cause hardships for some companies and industries, others - both Chinese and foreign - are likely to come out ahead. | | | And for Chen Kuang-ping, the president of the Shunde Growth Corporation, a Taiwanese-owned company here in southeastern China that assembles steel bookcases and other furniture from imported Taiwanese steel, a higher yuan could force a decision to close the local factory and move to India in search of cheaper labor. | | | For Leon Liu, a manager of the Xingan Quanyi Bamboo and Wooden Products Company, a manufacturer of wooden coat hangers for hotels and expensive retailers, a more valuable yuan will mean that bamboo grown near the company's factory in Rong Jiang Village in southernmost China will become too expensive. |

| | Beware what you wish: stronger Chinese yuan brings costs - May. 5, 2005 |
| | The critics say a free-floating yuan would rise at least 20 percent in value, making Chinese exports to the United States more costly, ending what some claim is unfair competition by the Chinese. | | | If Chinese officials do give in and let the yuan rise, though, it could be a case of be careful what you wish for. | | | Meanwhile, a rising yuan would let China, already a big oil importer, buy even more oil for the same number of yuan, since oil is priced in dollars worldwide -- a move that would put upward pressure on oil prices. |
