Will A Biden Win Boost China's Yuan?

CNBC: A Biden win could be bullish for the Chinese yuan, analysts say

SINGAPORE — A win for Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in the U.S. election next month could prove to be bullish for the Chinese yuan, analysts said. 

A “balanced outlook” for the election “should reduce the risk premium” for the Chinese currency, analysts at Swiss bank Lombard Odier wrote in a report on Tuesday.

WNU Editor: Democrat Presidential candidate Biden has already made it clear that he wants to reset the US-China relationship to a time before Trump (i.e. massive trade surpluses for China). Couple this with promises from the Biden campaign that they support massive Congressional spending .... spending that would eventually depreciate the US dollar. I have to say yes. A Biden win would be bullish for China's currency.
