PBOC announced on 10 October that the FX risk reserve ratio for forward USD purchases vs CNY would be lowered from 20% to 0% effective immediately. Before that, PBOC did the same thing in September 2017, leading to a 3-week rally of USD/CNH. However, this time around USD/CNH failed to gain much support from the reduction of the ratio. Instead, the pair resumed downtrend immediately as soon as a 2-day weak rally ended on 13 October. We attribute the sustained RMB appreciation regardless of the said policy change to a couple of factors. First of all, China's balance of payments has been improving more notably this year than in 2017. With China getting the COVID-19 under control more effectively and having its productivity back to normal much earlier, its exports have shown rapid growth since the beginning of summer (chart 1).

EPFR - fund flow & allocations data
Investors committed fresh money to both Equity and Bond Funds for the third straight week going into the second half of October despite rising COVID-19 caseloads in Europe and North America, the looming US presidential election and worrying unemployment trends that halted the latest rally in global equity markets. Investors showed the greatest conviction when it came to the US and emerging markets, with US Equity and Bond Funds absorbing a combined $18.7 billion while Emerging Markets Equity Funds extended their longest inflow streak since January and Emerging Markets Bond Funds posted their 14th inflow in the past 15 weeks. The second week of October also saw US Money Market Funds surrender another $26 billion, bringing total outflows from this fund group since mid-May to $225 billion. Over the same period, meanwhile, Europe Money Market Funds have absorbed over $100 billion. Those funds have also seen a modest rotation from UK to Europe ex-UK Money Market Funds as the deadline for a post-Brexit trade agreement between the UK and EU draws closer with limited signs of progress.
