离岸人民币兑美元升值超过7.23，创下六周来的最高水平，因为在美联储保持利率稳定，美联储主席鲍威尔排除了再次加息的可能性后，美元走弱，重申了央行尽管有所延迟，但仍倾向于宽松政策。与此同时，由于中国市场因劳动节长假休市，交易量依然疲软。在国内方面，本周发布的一项私人调查显示，中国制造业活动略有增长，2024年4月的数据从上月的51.1升至51.4，达到2023年2月以来的最高水平。投资者现在期待着下周的一系列经济报告，包括服务业活动、贸易和通胀数据，以获得进一步的指导。
The offshore yuan appreciated past 7.23 per dollar, hitting its highest levels in six weeks as the dollar weakened after the US Federal Reserve held interest rates steady and Fed Chair Powell ruled out the possibility of another rate hike, reiterating the central bank’s easing bias despite a delay. Meanwhile, trading volumes remained thin as Chinese markets were closed for the long Labor Day holiday. On the domestic front, a private survey released this week revealed a modest increase in Chinese manufacturing activity, with the April 2024 reading rising to 51.4 from 51.1 the previous month, reaching its highest level since February 2023. Investors now look forward to a raft of economic reports next week for further guidance, including services activity, trade and inflation data.
