Barclays Sees Mild Impact on US Inflation, Yuan From Tariff Move - 05 iulie 2022: Diferență între versiuni

Barclays Plc (US.BCS) said any rollback of US tariffs on Chinese goods will have only a modest impact on US inflation and the yuan. If there’s a complete rollback of tariffs, the maximum direct effect on US inflation is a one-time reduction of 0.3 percentage point, Barclays’ analysts including Jayati Bharadwaj wrote in a note. They cited the relatively small share of Chinese imports in the US consumption basket as a reason for the marginal change. 

For the Chinese currency, the potential improvement in US-China trade relations is also “not a yuan supercharger,” Barclays said. If tariffs were removed on both sides, China’s current account surplus would gain by about $90 billion, the analysts estimated. That would imply an appreciation in the yuan of 1.8%, although the actual impact could be smaller since any potential tariff removal would be delivered in a staggered approach or limited to a subset of Chinese products, they wrote.
