Effect of Yuan Revaluation

Post by Vince »

Hi Dennis,

With the mounting pressure for China to revalue its undervalued currency, what is your take in opening a fixed deposit account for the reminbi for a one-year period?

Also, how would a stronger yuan affect the prices of gold and silver?

Appreciate your advice on the above. Thanks.

Hi Vince,
I think long term, it is clear that China Reminbi will be stronger than current level, 1 year may not though.

I don't think there is any direct relationship between Yuan and prices of Gold and Silver. However, interestingly, in recent months, China sold over US$30 billion of U.S. Treasuries and reportedly re-invested the money into Silver.

Amongst top 10 countries in the world, China also has the lowest percentage of Foreign Reserves invested into Gold, if I didn't remember wrongly, the figure is only 1.5%, while most other countries have at least 5% invested.

Thus, do you think China is likely to buy or sell Gold and/or Silver in the next few years? I think the answer is pretty obvious based on logical reasoning.
Cheers!
