USD/CNY forecasts from the investment bank for 3, 6 and 12 month horizons
- 3 months 6.80 (Goldman Sachs prior forecast was at 6.95)
- 6 months 6.80 (prior 7.1)
- 12 months 6.70 (6.90)
GS comments, with the preamble that while trade talks can 'still falter' and a 'deal that rolls back existing tariffs and removes trade uncertainty feels like a high bar'
- but the 'the risk of another escalation in tariffs looks to have declined'
- an extended pause now feels like the most likely outcome
