Yuan Gold Fix
After Draghi’s remarks the euro slipped against the dollar, but not to the lowest level seen in the last year or so at 1.07, but it was the direction the E. U. wanted The Yuan is clearly being ‘managed’ lower. But this is in the face of a rising dollar. The Pound continues to slip steadily, something that counters the negative effect of the coming Brexit [in two years]. After all, the Pound is 15% cheaper than before the referendum, against a 10.7% fall in the Yuan since the beginning of this year.
