南华期货外汇（美元兑人民币）周报-20251019

Report Industry Investment Rating No relevant content provided. Core Viewpoints of the Report - Despite the US federal government shutdown for over two weeks and delayed release of key economic data, the US dollar index has not significantly declined recently. This is driven by data vacuum, the "comparative disadvantage logic" of major non - US currencies, and geopolitical risks pushing up market risk - aversion. The asset reallocation from non - US currencies to commodities also indirectly supports the US dollar. However, the USD/CNY exchange rate is expected to remain stable within a reasonable range under the "stability - first" policy of the Chinese central bank, especially before the important meeting at the end of October [1][17][19]. Summary by Relevant Directory 1. Weekly Market Review and Outlook 1.1 Foreign Exchange Market Review - Last week's foreign exchange market was dominated by policy variables (new trade war risks and Fed's monetary policy signals) and the impact of the US government shutdown. The market was immune to the new trade war risks, and the Fed Chair Powell's dovish signal boosted market liquidity expectations. The euro was positively affected by the Fed's signal and short - term political stability in Europe; the yen was affected by Japan's political uncertainty; the US dollar index depreciated, and the offshore RMB, yen, euro, and pound appreciated against the US dollar, while the on - shore RMB slightly depreciated [2][4][5]. 1.2 Weekly Review of USD/CNY Spot Exchange Rate - The USD/CNY spot exchange rate showed a "rising first then falling" volatile trend last week. Key events included Fed Chair Powell's dovish signal on the balance - sheet reduction process, which was due to short - term liquidity tightness in the US money market. China released September CPI and PPI data, with CPI showing signs of improvement and PPI expected to continue improving but unlikely to turn positive this year [11][12][14]. 1.3 Market Outlook - The US dollar index's short - term strength is supported by multiple factors. However, under the Chinese central bank's policy of maintaining RMB exchange rate stability, the USD/CNY spot exchange rate is expected to remain stable within a reasonable range before the end of October [17][19]. 1.4 Strategy Suggestion - It is recommended to mainly adopt a wait - and - see approach [20]. 2. RMB Market Observation 2.1 Policy Tool Tracking - Counter - Cyclical Factor - As of last Friday, the central parity rate of the USD/CNY exchange rate depreciated by 99 basis points.
