According to a JPMorgan estimate, every 1% tariff hike during the 2018-2019 period of the US-launched trade war was linked to a 0.7% rise of the US dollar versus the yuan.
Need a fact check!!
Trump plans to impose a 60% tariff on virtually all Chinese products.
Trump is very vocal about it.
That would lead to an exchange rate of roughly 9 yuan to the dollar, 25% weaker than now.
Does China have any answers as precaution against Trump's anti-China trade ideology?
Of course Beijing planners are already factoring Trump in the overall equation. The Western mantra that China’s economy is struggling to stabilize may be debatable. Yet China’s economy may be in fact in a more precarious position now than when Trump unleashed his trade war in mid-2018. The yuan may seem to be under more pressure because of the gap between US and Chinese borrowing costs.
