Description
Lucas and Luna unpack a counterintuitive story: the Chinese yuan is strengthening despite trade tensions and a slowing domestic economy. They examine why the yuan has appreciated to 6.79 per dollar, what it means for China's exporters, and how it signals a shift in global reserve currency dynamics. Along the way, they discuss the role of Japan's yen and the impact on Asian supply chains.
