Amid escalating trade tensions with the United States, Chinese companies are increasingly stockpiling U.S. dollars while pricing contracts in yuan to mitigate currency risks. This strategy is aimed at protecting against potential fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that could arise from the ongoing trade disputes. Reports indicate that these firms are also opening new import lines as part of their risk management efforts. In a related development, China has expressed a willingness to engage in discussions with the U.S. to advance bilateral trade, leveraging its substantial holdings of U.S. debt to influence the renminbi (RMB) exchange rate.
