Chinese Yuan Sinks to almost Two-Year Low

The data surrounding the Chinese yuan shows that on Monday, its value dropped tremendously. Compared to the trading price of the greenback, the value of the Chinese yuan experienced a two-year low on Monday.

So far, the trading value of the Chinese yuan has come close to the two-year low and it is due to the decision made by the People’s Bank.

People’s Bank Cuts Lending Rates

The latest reports confirm that the People’s Bank of China has just announced another cut in the lending rates. This is the second time in two weeks that the People’s Bank of China has announced a reduction in the lending rates.

The recent decision made by the People’s Bank of China has given rise to many uncertainties and these uncertainties may keep rising.

Then comes the monetary policy of the Federal Reserve which is also encouraging uncertainties and jitters among the investment community.

Performance of Yuan versus the Dollar

Compared to the United States dollar (USD), the value of the Chinese yuan has sunk at a high rate. The value of the yuan has fallen so much that it has come close to hitting a two-year low.

This is the weakest level the value of the Chinese yuan has hit since September of 2020.

The announcement by the PBoC

The reason behind the reduction is the worry of the PBoC due to several factors that are impacting the Chinese economy.

The Chinese economy is facing multiple challenges and headwinds that come from the energy crisis, a struggling real estate market, and the COVID lockdowns.
