Juneo some are talking of a "token" BoE rate hike. i would say 10% chance of rate hike in Q4 of this year. BoE still thinks the inflation rebound is just temporary before going back below target

1452 GMT [Dow Jones] China will gradually adopt a managed floating exchange rate, China's Hu said, noting foundation for a world economic recovery were not yet stable, and that current yuan policy had helped stabilize the world financial system. This is a reiteration of long-standing Chinese policy on the yuan. As countries move out of financial crisis, they should clarify their exits from measures of extraordinary monetary policy, he said.

Said, the revaluation of 2-3% will remain negligible unless they allow strengthening in the subsequent 15-24 months as was the case after July 2005 reveluation. It's not whether it will happen but what will happen to the currency after the 1-time reval.

Callum, weak inflation is the way to go in China, US and Eurozone. but chinese are very worried about the lending bubble especially in property. Instead of just raising reserve requirements, they must raise interest rates, especially deposit rates, which are now below inflation, so that people will keep money in the bank, hence effective tightening.

Anyone betting on PBOC to raise rates today? Sounds like the CPI still under their target of 3% may have taken off the pressure?

Yes indeed. China will do things at its own pace. It will have to raise interest rates, then allow the currency to appreciate gradually as has been the case between 2005 and 2008.

Ashraf,

Geithner delayed currency report, "giving" China some extra time to consider Yuan. What's your view of this situation and the possible outcome? My guess is that China will revalue it's currency eventually but not now. I don't think China will do anything just because US (or any other country) says so.
