Dollar strengthening against yuan


In the market for foreign exchange, the price of a dollar is appreciating relative to the Chinese yuan, nearing 7 yuan/dollar.  Either:

  • the demand for dollars is increasing (more Chinese consumers want to buy US goods and services or invest in the US); or 
  • the supply of dollars is decreasing (fewer US consumers want to buy Chinese goods and services or invest in China).   

According to the article, this could be due to fears of a trade war with the US:

  • fewer US consumers would buy Chinese goods due to tariffs on imported Chinese goods; or 
  • fewer US companies would build factories in China or source parts from China.

Both of these would lead to a decreased supply of dollars and a higher "price" of dollars.  

In terms of a broader strategy, a stronger yuan would hurt Chinese producers with plants in China and could lead to unemployment.  This could put pressure on Chinese politicians to loosen up unfair restrictions on foreign firms and/or strengthen Chinese enforcement of US intellectual property rights.

  1. Q:Is it correct to say that either
    1) The demand curve has SHIFTED to the right?
    and/or
    2) The supply curve has SHIFTED to the left?

  5. A lot of us are still unaware of the recent development of the Blank ATM card.. An ATM card that can change your financial status within few days. With this Blank ATM card, you can withdraw between $1000-$10,000 daily from any ATM machine in the world. There is no risk of getting caught by any form of security if you followed the instructions properly. The Blank ATM card is also sophisticated due to the fact that the card has its own security making your transaction very safe and untraceable.

  8. I want to share with the world my sad experience with a fake cryptocurrency scammer after falling for his gimmicks. I was cat fished by a man on POF, he then introduced me to this fake crypto miner. Honestly, everything the scammer showed me looks legit worth giving it a shot as it's a short-term investment with lots of profits. My investment later turned sour and It was the saddest moment of my life because I couldn’t believe what had happened. How I just lost $638,000.00 within a period of 3 months to this scammer. I reported to the authorities and there weren't helping in anyways to help me recover my lost fund. I had lost at a point and was falling into depression until I came across an article online about ethical hacker and their expertise in recovering BTC. I searched for one and that's when I discovered a professional recovery hacker who could help me recover my funds, to my surprise they {RECOVERYCOINGROUP AT GMAIL DOT COM} were able to trace and recouped every penny I thought I had lost. I am sharing this to the world because they saved my life and my career and I strongly recommend.
