周三，离岸人民币兑美元汇率反弹至7.38，与美元的新一轮下跌相一致，因为市场评估了中美之间不断升级的贸易战，以及这将如何影响中国人民银行操纵其管理浮动汇率的方式。中国宣布将把最近对美国商品的关税提高到84%，以报复美国新总统政府将关税提高到104%。北京还在其出口限制名单上增加了12家公司，以向美国经济施压，限制世界上最大的两个经济体之间的流动。因此，中国央行推出了一系列人民币贬值措施，以提高中国出口的竞争力，使人民币跌至7.43美元兑1美元的低点，这是自2010年现行货币制度建立以来的最低水平。同时，李强总理强调，中国的宏观经济政策旨在应对不确定性，并表示对今年的持续增长充满信心。
The offshore yuan held its rebound at 7.38 per dollar on Wednesday, moving in line with a fresh decline in the USD as markets assessed the escalating trade war between China and the US and how it will impact the manner in which the PBoC steers its managed float. China announced it would raise recent tariffs on US goods to 84% in retaliation to the US's tariff increase to 104% from the new Presidential administration. Beijing also added 12 companies on its export restriction list to pressure the US economy, limiting flows between the world's two largest economies. Consequently, the PBoC delivered a series of weaker yuan fixes to aid the competitiveness of Chinese exports, driving the currency to bottom at 7.43 per USD, its weakest since the current monetary regime was established in 2010. Meanwhile, Premier Li Qiang emphasized that China’s macroeconomic policies are designed to address uncertainties and expressed confidence in sustained growth this year.
