CNH JPY Short Suggestion: Trade For Monday 9 Sept.24 This is the Daily chart for the Chinese Yuan & Japanese Yen. You can see following along the trend line how strong the Yuan was until a month or two ago - when it sharply sold off - 50 EMA diving under the 200 EMA creating a 'death-cross' which can signal a trend change. Even the last couple of Daily candles resumed this weakness down. So, I see the Yuan falling some more and perhaps quite swiftly down to the levels and take-profit levels I have clearly marked. One thing to be aware of is that the Yuan is heavily oversold at the moment & I see demand coming back into it very soon after this final 'flush-down' plays-out. Then we might trade it back up when I see enough demand coming back into it. easy_explosive_trader Chris

Ascending Triangle Points Towards Yuan Devaluation This SummerNote: the technical indicators show a TTM squeeze ready on EVERY TF except Monthly, which is about to happen shortly by this summer - which means a massive move will happen. BOJ will blow up this summer and will devalue against the dollar forcing China to devalue to stay export competitive. I see a 50% devaluation - which will have the opposite effect on everyone else. If China devalues, that means they invite inflation into their economy, which forces deflation throughout the whole world. This will push up the dollar and blow up everyone else's currency. I see the dollar TVC:DXY going to 140-160+ before it too blows up. Of course this implosion will be blamed on some external false flag event - while the FED trots out CBDC's via DigitalID anchored to social credit scores that allows the FED to effectively use negative interest rates via social credit scores and time value of the credits. Gold and silver really won't matter because people will be looking for food.

CNHJPY - Massive SHORT!! The pair that just keeps on giving ...... and giving, and then give some more. Should one lack the inclination to deal with everyday FX volatility (or with the lack thereof) then this is the pair to be SHORT , in George Foreman style, ala; "Just set it and forget it!" Simply put, China's absolute best hope (just a dream, really) to survive it's oncoming demographic (industrial, deurbanization, and ... ) collapse to somehow muddle through one of it's worst decade and a half well under way, to transition through total "Japanification". (This is only a hope, requiring lots and lots of luck to pull it off.) This is undeniably China's best possible future scenario, all else being a far inferior outcome. Consequently, as Japan is snapping out of it's 30 year slumber just as China "hopes" to achieve Japanification, this pair (provided any future convertibility of the Yuan) will mirror that process, obviously like no other. E.g. SELL it (Short) for good! (through about 2035 and possibly beyond.) Here is the Weekly; SHORT it anywhere here! p.s. The scenario outlined in the main (monthly) chart is only a near-term outlook (12-15 months out), severely understating the potential ultimate (Short) mileage in this pair.

Does Fed raise rates to weaken China yuan? USDCNHI wanted to take a moment to share some exciting news with you all about the USDCNH (US dollar and Chinese yuan) currency pair. As many of you may know, the Chinese economy has been showing signs of weakness lately, directly impacting the yuan's value. The Federal Reserve has also raised interest rates, weakening the yuan against the US dollar. But what does this mean for us as forex traders? It means there is an excellent opportunity to long the USDCNH and potentially make some serious profits. So, I encourage you to take advantage of this situation and consider going long on the USDCNH. With the yuan's continued weakness and the Fed's interest rate hikes, there's a good chance this currency pair will continue to rise. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make some serious gains. Start trading the USDCNH today and take advantage of the current market conditions.

The march to an inevitable North American world hegemony is ...... picking up pace. - A lot, lately! TLTR The war in the Ukraine was essentially over the day it began. Now, with western interests notably starting to fade, it will start to make it's way to the back pages of daily reportage. Why was this even an issue of US interests, to begin with? ... Washington had this far fetched dream - although, not entirely without historical bases - to create a Polish-Ukrainian-Lithuanian superstate , entirely funded on US interests, unifying over 80 million people, populating 5 million square kilometers, right up against the Russian Federation and China's western sphere of interests. Nice try! The real problem with this wishful thinking is multi-fold. While those above mentioned peoples do have a lot of similarities in culture, language and historically undesirable (for them) outcomes, the facts remain the same; - Ukrainians do not play well with others! Notably one of the most chauvinist cultures, their mistreatment of minorities is (or should be!) rapidly becoming legendary, the largest of which are the Poles; - "My enemy's (i.e. Russia) enemy is my friend." - As incredibly profound as that may sound, it also makes for extremely unstable, impossible to maintain alliances; - The Organization of Turkic States (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Turkey) do have a lot to say about this and, not surprisingly, they do not approve - to say the least; - Then there is Turkey (a regional super power) which, not in the least, together with China, had managed nothing less than to broker a piece between Iran and Saudi Arabia; In summary, a now defacto Russian-Chinese-Iranian-Turkish coalition is enough to make even the United States to stop and think twice what it's wisest next step may be, in the region. OK, so no big deal. The US blew ~7% of it's annual defense budget on this still-born idea but, since it can, will likely call it a day , in the very near future. The EU , which is essentially nothing more than a German franchise, is looking at it's End of Days . The German industrial base managed to go 0-3, much like on the two previous occasions when they fielded their dream team , an outcome that is all but inevitable. Any doubt?! ... Just this week Volkswagen and BASF both announced that they are "considering to explore their North American options with regard to future investments". That is the German Industrial Base ! - Apparently looking to seek asylum in the US. German infrastructure and industry, which took over 30 years to build, only took two(2) short years to gut and to irreversibly break apart. No shock, there. Germans always had to be the best at whatever was the vogue of the day and clearly, self-mutilation and ultimately, economic suicide, not being an exception. (I spent a lot of time in Germany and to get a Wifi signal - cellular or otherwise -, the quality and frequency is right up there with Lebanon's. German pensioners blow their retirements on turtle neck sweaters because state sanctioned energy cut-backs simply turn off their central heating in the middle of January. The fastest growing manufacturing sector, as of right now, is wood-burning stoves! - The effect of which on the lumber industry is interesting, in itself but that's a whole other conversation.) Germany's largest trading partner is China! (40% of exports.) Chine is notably not found of the present, vigorous German ra-ra which would have the average mainstream news consumer believe that Kiev has won the war last christmas and that right now, Polish troops are storming the walls of the Kremlin, under German leadership. E.g. China, ultimately, does have an awful lot of pull in the case of German foreign policy and, lately, Beijing's patience appears to be wearing thin. Long story short; "It's been nice signing with you Coco, but it's over!" - Bet on it! China is dying! (Present tense.) As stated previously, the inescapable reality of a demographic collapse - it's first, truly major wave - is descending on China at the time of this writing. A total of 1/2 (50%) of China's population will not celebrate New Years Eve, 2035! - Leaving about 800 Million de-industrialized, de-urbanized, subsistence farmers in it's wake, by the middle of the next decade. As rapid extinctions go, this one is for the books. (As a personal reflection perhaps of mild interest, I have spent some time in the Mekong Delta, planting rice - just to see what it's all about. Afterwards I can safely state that there is no more expensive crop or an other, more soul-sucking, endlessly laborious occupation than rice farming! As for automation? ... What automation?! - It will never happen! To grow rice is a 24/7, all out battle with Nature, which uses up every living thing - including people and the environment - in a merciless fashion. I, personally, would much rather go back to pyramid building, as one of the slaves. My point being; Can anyone imagine china without rice? - ) In short, if there ever was a sure thing , this is it! (Feel free to do the rest of the math - i.e. a world without China.) Now, having argued why "everyone dies, except for the USA" , that, of course, is not the same as all of them will walk off into the sunset with a whimper . (Although, under the circumstances, even that isn't very far fetched.) Who will be able to muster at least a last, dying spasm, is yet to be seen but if it happens it will be violent! Be prepared! "Crises take much longer to unfold and run much deeper than anyone would expect." All that is outlined above is already happening (no more "unfolding" ) and perhaps with traders' typically myopic view, a lot that is about to hit the fan could seem "unexpected", at that moment. Don't be caught off guard! Trade it with the lay-of-the-land in mind and make the most of what promises to be a once in many-generation opportunity. EUR/USD Short Bias (from here on out, essentially for ever ); USD/CNH Long Bias (from here on out, essentially for ever ); US Equities & Treasuries over any off-shore, Bias p.s. The US of A still maintains marginally beneficial demographics, with no near term dangers on the horizon. On the top of that, it also boast one of the few optimally dispersed populations - from a systemic point of view. E.g. "Globalization", in reality, is just a less pointed pseudonym for US world hegemony.

Wandering Balloon Deflates the Rise of Chinese YuanCME: USD/RMB Futures ( CME:CNH1! ) US-China relations are arguably the most challenging bilateral relations in the 21st century. It has been in a free fall since the 2018 trade conflict. The competition has intensified and spread to investment, technology, among other arenas since then. On November 14th, 2022, President Biden met with President Xi during the G-20 summit in Bali, Indonesia. This was expected to be a turning point to stabilize the relations. Secretary of State Antony Blinken planned a follow-up trip to China, scheduled to depart on February 3rd. However, a massive balloon floating in the skies of Montana causes a diplomatic panic. The US alleges that it is a high-altitude military surveillance balloon from China, while China claims that it is a civilian airship derailed by wind, a force majeure accident. Last Friday, Secretary Blinken announces the postponement of his China trip. The next day, U.S. military shoots down the balloon over the Atlantic Ocean off South Carolina. The drama between Washington and Beijing has significant impacts over the annual $700 billion bilateral trade. Tensions could be a nightmare for tens of thousands of US companies operating in China. Today, we focus on the most prominent market risk of all, USD/CNH, the US dollar – Chinese Yuan exchange rate. The Rise and Fall of USD/CNH In FX spot and futures markets, USD/CNH is quoted as Yuan per Dollar. When the quote of USD/CNH rises, CNH depreciates because each dollar can be exchanged for more yuan. Similarly, a falling quote represents dollar depreciation which in turn is yuan appreciation. How is the USD/CNH exchange rate determined? Interest rate parity (IRP) states that the interest rate differential between two countries is equal to the differential between the forward exchange rate and the spot exchange rate. The formula for IRP is: F0=S0×((1+ ic)/(1+ib)), where: Forward Rate=Spot Rate × ((1+ Country C’s Interest Rate)/(1+ Country B’s Interest Rate) ) The 10-Year US Treasury Yield is currently quoted at 3.623%, higher than the 10-Year Chinese Government Bond Yield of 2.934%. Plug these into the IRP formula with a spot rate of 6.792, we will arrive at a forward rate of 6.837. Examining the 1-year price chart of CME CNH futures, we find that Yuan lost 10,000 points between March and October last year, from 6.3 to 7.3. The trend closely correlates with the Fed rate hikes. This is a vindication of sound economic theory. While China’s central bank exercises control over its currency, in recent years it adopted open market operations and phased out strong-armed government directives. The parallel trends diverged in November, as China ended its 3-year-long Zero-Covid policy. China’s reopening becomes the main driver of USD/CNH, which receded 6,000 points from 7.3 to 6.7 in three months. Yuan’s strengthening has been interrupted last week as the Balloon incident hits the newswire. USD/CNH lost 900 points in two days, currently quoting at 6.792. In my opinion, as the Fed tightening cycle enters the last inning, it no longer has an overarching impact over USD/CNH. Going forward, US-China bilateral relations take over. Bilateral relationship between the countries will remain unpredictable. This is a developing story. Will there be a strong retaliation, or a mulled response? Different actions could swing the Yuan exchange rate from one extreme to the other. Hedging for Currency Exposure Amid Unstable Relations US importers, exporters, and US companies operating in China all face significant risks when the exchange rate is so volatile. Some of the cost may be in one currency, while the revenue is in another. Hedging net currency exposure is key to lock in the profit. US-China trade has been very unstable in the past few years. But overall, a “decoupling” trend has already been under way. In 2017, China was the largest US trading partner. Bilateral trade accounted for 16.9% of all US foreign trade. The most recent data for the first 11 months of 2022 shows a different story now: • Canada is the No. 1 US trading partner with $733.1 billion and a 14.9% share • Mexico is the 2nd largest, with $718.3 billion (14.6%) • China is now only the 3rd largest with $639.5 billion and a 13.0% share The US has become less dependent on China in its global supply chain. This is evident by the huge growth in bilateral trades with Vietnam (+122%), Taiwan (+102%) and India (+89%) in the last five years, while China trade only managed to grow 2%. Short-term Trades May Prevail In “Year of the Rabbit: Short-tailed Trading”, I discussed my preference for short-range trading this year over longer-term holding done in the past year. Market uncertainties pose more challenges in analyzing multiple moving targets with uncharted trajectories. The Chinese currency is exactly what I am talking about. Just when you think China’s reopening would induce a secular bull run, a wandering balloon out of the blue sky deflates that hope. I would not be surprised if we have a repeat of the 2018 Trade Conflict. When the tension between the two superpowers intensifies, it could swing the market wildly. For readers who have followed my stories, once again, we could leverage the game theory and event-driven strategy in response to this unexpected market event. In the past few years, I have deployed game theory and strangle options across a number of highly volatile and uncertain market scenarios, upon US-China Trade Conflict, the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, the Fed Rate Hikes, the US Midterm elections, and the US Debt Ceiling Showdown. Most of these ideas have been published on TradingView. You will find links to these stories at the end of this report. While there isn’t an option contract available on the CNH, short-term trade on the currency futures contract may be considered. Take the balloon incident as an example: Do you think Beijing will retaliate or merely protest in words? The former could worsen the US-China relations, and in my view, push the value of the Yuan down. The latter indicates the conflict can be managed without getting out of control, which is good news for the Yuan. In summary: • Hawkish response – Yuan value Down and CNH futures price Up; • Dovish response – Yuan value Up and CNH quote Down Once you form an educated opinion on which action is more likely, consider placing a long (hawkish) or short (dovish) futures position accordingly. Then hold on for the events to unravel. If history is any guide, the market often tends to over-shoot in response to overreaction. Happy trading.

Yuan will devalue soon, US dollar $DXY will soar!Republishing this from my USDCNY post. 1. Head and Shoulders pattern 2. MA's + PA show a bottoming pattern 3. China will devalue the Yuan (Remnimbi) 4. Dollar $DXY will go over 106 5. Gold $XAUUSD will go below $1,500 oz. 6. Silvere $XAGUSD will go below $15 oz. Trade idea related to this currency pair that goes through other macro factors twitter.com 10, 20, 30 year yields mirror this PA - and show USD will be going up as yields are starting to. When China devalues the Yuan, the FED will be helpless to push it down unless they go all in on YCC via UBI. Then you'll want to pivot into $XAUUSD or $XAGUSD.

Chinese Media Downplays Yuan’s Drop Due to Manipulator LabelChinese state media supported the government’s move on yuan’s weakening, saying it was normal. The press stressed on economic benefits that come with a flexible currency. According to Xinhua News Agency’s Monday report, the yuan falling beyond 7 a dollar is a result of a market drive. The move shows the exchange rate is now more flexible. The report also said it’s normal to have market sentiments fluctuate amid rising external risks. People’s Daily said the yuan’s future is unpredictable. It said the central bank is now more tolerant of fluctuations compared to during the 2016 depression cycle. The newspaper also published an article on one of its WeChat accounts. It said that markets play a more significant role in the yuan’s exchange rate. On Monday, yuan’s weakening to its lowest level in more than ten years. It caused Trump administration to label China – a currency manipulator worsening the U.S-China trade war. The move is symbolic but highlights the deteriorating trade relationship between the two giant economies. On Tuesday, the yuan pared losses in Hong Kong after China’s central bank fixed daily rate stronger than 7 per dollar. On Monday, Yi Gang the People’s Bank of China governor said China wouldn’t use yuan as a tool to deal in trade disputes. According to a Chinese Security journal’s commentary, the domestic financial media also eased investor’s nerves to say PBOC was still keen on it bottom-line-mindset. Policymakers were considering a range of risks in managing exchange rates. The journal also emphasized that there was no need to worry about yuan steep depreciation or shocks to asset prices amid capital outflow. It said that there was no basis for the yuan to weaken significantly. China’s yuan stabilizes, investor sentiment remains delicate

Tides May Turn for USDCNHJust minutes ago, Reuters reported that Lightheizer and Mnuchin are going to Bejing for talks. However, trade war detente is now not on the table until June. Trump threatens to keep tariffs on if China won't hold up their end of the deal on intellectual property. Honestly its not looking good. It is difficult to tell if this trend will continue to go negative and if Trump holds an all out assault in the trade war against everyone and anyone he can get his hands on. This may be the world we live in by the end of 2019. Who knows. But clearly, the talks are no longer going as well as we once thought and also let's keep in mind how Trump walked away from Kim Jong Un in Hanoi. This is what we are trending towards now which would be quite detrimental to markets in spite of Trump's desire for a deal which is quite strong and in spite of his sensitivity towards the stock markets which we also know he is quite sensitive to as well. However in the end, in order for these negotiations to go well Trump needs at least the idea that he can create a positive message at the end. That's the fundie picture. I'll much more briefly talk technicals. Overall, we are trending towards oversold with the USD even though the momentum is still trending in that direction.

Yuan USDCNH - Wave 3 of 3 - Motive WaveSince the start of the trade war between the US and China, the Chin. Yuan has already depreciated by 8% against the US dollar. This will make Chinese products cheaper and thus cushion the US tariffs. At the same time, all US products will be 8% more expensive, plus tariffs. At the same time, US dollar-based loans are becoming more expensive and are likely to worsening the financial situation of a number of Chinese companies and thus lead to market consolidation. As you can see in the timetable, the pattern is Impulsive and the yuan is inside of the (3) circled 3. The RSI is already in the overvalued area so I expect shortly that wave (3) end and a subsequent correction wave (4) start. Best Regards Stefan Bode P.S. Do not forget to agree.
