After stabilising yuan, China may be tempted to change it
Aug 7 (Reuters) -China's policymakers have achieved their goal with the yuan trading stably around the centre of its long-term range for almost two years. Having achieved that target, policymakers may be tempted to make the yuan fully convertible in order to gain greater influence.
China needs a strong foundation from which to float the yuan and has created one while the eyes of most market participants have been on a rising dollar which has come close to its record high versus the offshore yuan (CNH) this year.
After plunging toward 7.06 this week, its current 7.18 level USD/CNH is little changed in value in the past year, while the onshore yuan (CNY) has gained around 3%.
Whether it is stronger or stable, the yuan's true position is substantially different from that cast by USD/CNH when it briefly topped 7.30 in June, spurring concerns that it would dive on the back of an ailing economy.
In reality, the yuan is well managed and stable and an attractive proposition for global reserve managers who may be keen to shift some risk away from the dollar which makes up the vast bulk of all central banks' reserves.
Even a modest change in the composition of global reserves could create big waves in FX markets, and the timing of a change in China's FX policy may be closer than currently perceived.
