离岸人民币兑美元汇率保持在最近的7.35左右,徘徊在两个月来的最低水平附近,受到美中贸易紧张局势升级的拖累。周一,特朗普总统威胁要对中国加征50%的关税,该关税将于周三生效,以回应北京上周五宣布的报复措施。在一份声明中,中国誓言如果华盛顿升级,将进一步报复,并警告称将“战斗到底”以捍卫其利益。上周,中国宣布将从周四开始对所有美国进口商品征收34%的关税,作为其报复措施的一部分,这反映了华盛顿最近的关税上调。在这些日益加剧的紧张局势中,中国政策制定者已采取行动加快刺激措施,以提振消费和稳定市场,预计财政支持将缓解经济。
The offshore yuan held its recent decline around 7.35 per dollar, hovering near its lowest level in two months, weighed down by escalating US-China trade tensions. On Monday, President Trump threatened additional 50% tariffs on China, set to take effect Wednesday, in response to Beijing’s retaliatory measures announced last Friday. In a statement, China vowed to retaliate further in response if Washington escalates, warning it would 'fight to the end' to defend its interests. Last week, China announced it would impose a 34% tariff on all US imports starting Thursday, as part of its retaliatory measures, mirroring Washington’s latest tariff hike. Amid these rising tensions, Chinese policymakers have moved to expedite stimulus measures to boost consumption and stabilize markets, with fiscal support expected to cushion the economy.
