Britain and China sign RMB pact

Britain and China have signed an agreement to set up a clearing service for RMB trading in London on Monday. The deal comes days after Germany signed a similar deal with the Chinese. The deal allows both countries to trades convertible RMD.

Trade in the Chinese currency is currently restricted to just a few countries. This is part of the reason for friction with some of its trading partners who claim restricted trade in the RMB keeps its value artificially low. The Chinese dispute this rather pointing to a gradually inclusion in global currency markets.

Eymats CEO believes that it is only a matter of time before the RMB is fully convertible thus stream-lining trade between China and it’s trading partners. “I see a gradual loosening of China’s currency trading policy which will see  China increase it’s share  for payments moving past the Swiss Franc which is currently seventh on the scale” says CEO. The American dollar or USD as it is known is the leader of the pack.

Markets Overview

In local stock markets the ASX200 finished higher with the local big 4-banks leading the charge with the benchmark index holding above the 5,500 level. The slow performer yesterday was the mining sector which saw some of the larger players such as BHP and Rio Tinto lose some ground.

In overseas markets we saw some big news in European stocks with US pharmaceutical giant Pfizer offering a merger deal with British competitor AstraZeneca. This news coupled with strong performances from other European pharmaceutical giants has seen the industry lift most of the major Euro indexes in overnight trading.

The US stock market saw some steady gains off the back of the Pfizer news and some strong performances from the tech sector but was hampered by a slide from Bank of America shares with news they are suspending dividend and buybacks.

In commodities news we have seen a slight drop in Aluminium and Copper on the London Metals Exchange while traders have started to make a move back to Gold amid rising tensions in Ukraine.

USD

A quiet day yesterday against the USD, a little bit of movement over night with a better than expected pending home sales. The main piece of economic data this week is the employment report on Friday. We may see a little movement this today with consumer confidence steady.
