Just for curiosity.. Check this report but don’t let yourself be converted into masochist:





This means: “things can get ugly fast as USDCNY crosses the crucial 6.25 level where losses from hedge products begin to surge.”..  Morgan Stanley warns "real pain will come if CNY stays above these levels," leading to further capital withdrawal, illiquidity, and a potential vicious circle as it appears the PBOC is trying to break the virtuous carry trade that has fueled so much of its bubble economy.

“If  the Yuan continue to depreciate..  if the CNY keeps going   then things get ugly fast...  we can then estimate the size of potential losses to holders of these products if USD/CNH keeps trading higher. “In round numbers, we estimate that for every 0.1 move in USD/CNH above the average EKI (which we have assumed here is 6.20), corporates will lose US$200 million a month. The real pain comes if USD/CNH stays above this level, as these losses will accrue every month until the contract expires. Given contracts are 24 months in tenor, this implies around US$4.8 billion in total losses for every 0.1 above the average EKI”. 




Remember, as we noted previously, these potential losses are pure levered derivative losses... not some "well we are losing so let's greatly rotate this bet to US equities" which means it has a real tightening impact on both collateral and liquidity around the world...


The bottom line is the question of whether the PBOC's engineering this CNY weakness is merely a strategy to increase volatility and thus deter carry-trade malevolence (in line with reform policies to tamp down bubbles) OR is it a more aggressive entry into the currency wars as China focuses on its trade (exports) and keeping the dream alive?


Here is CLSA's Russel Napier on what the long-tern fate of the Renminbi will be:

“Mercantilist alchemy transmutes China’s external surpluses into foreign exchange reserves and renminbi. But with capital outflows from China at record highs, those surpluses are only maintained due to its citizens’ foreign-currency borrowing. Bank-reserve and M2 growth are already near historical lows and are driving tighter monetary policy. This will lead to severe credit-quality issues and force the authorities to accept a credit crunch or opt for a major devaluation of the renminbi. They will do the latter; and despite five years of QE, the world will get deflation anyway.”


MI COMENTARIO:

In Spanish: si la gallina de los huevos de oro, deja de ponerlos as usual,  solo se salvan los que acumularon ese oro y para salvarse tienen que venderlo o circularlo; esto es , convertirlo en moneda circulante. Si ocurre esta conversión, los días del dólar estarían contados, a menos que también lo respalden con oro, pero no lo tienen pues el que hay “pertenece” a  los grandes ladrones, a los banqueros que imprimen el dólar y QEs. 

Que desgracia la mia, ver como caen los Yuanes, y los rubros tambien, dijo alguien, y no poder visitar China ni Rusia. Peor desgracia la de los ricos, pueden comprar Yuanes baratos, pero no la gallina de los huevos de oro, pueden visitar Rusia, pero no fragmentarla como quisieran (soniar con opio Afghano no les cuesta). 

Peor desgracia aun, tener un dólar que cada día vale menos y menos. 

Solo me alegra la vieja cancion de Spain "Ojala quiera el Dios del cielo, que la tortilla se vuelva, que la tortilla se vuelva, que los pobres coman pan y los ricos mierda mierda"
