Traders note that ongoing Middle East conflicts are spilling over, and the negative impact on the global economy may become more apparent. The yuan is expected to continue fluctuating within a range in the short term.

DBS Bank states that given the Federal Reserve’s constrained rate-cut cycle and the sustained strength of the US dollar, the People’s Bank of China faces a narrower policy space. It needs to balance supporting domestic growth with maintaining exchange rate stability. The strengthening dollar also limits the central bank’s room to cut rates and increases the constraints on using easing policies to offset capital flow volatility.
