Big moral hazard here. Way too many specs piling in on this "one way" bet of appreciation. The central bank of china shouldn't announce their policies like this. China is already far too attractive to hot money capital flows.
I am amazed at how people and the media thinks this means the Yuan will be revalued.
I have been saying for the past month on my blog. The Yuan will devalue, and here is their excuse. The Yuan will be priced against a basket of currencies, good news yes?
Well what if that basket were say 50% USD, and 50%EUR. Where do you think the Yuan would be relative to the USD? Oh yeah DEVALUED!
So what everybody better start hoping is that the Euro goes up against the USD because if it does not... Yuan drop here we go!
But of course the mainstream media like CNBC can't stop harping about how bad things are in Europe... Yeah right, did you know the all of the German car makers are running shifts on Saturday?
