<ul>
<li>News report today that RMB may appreciate 10% due to potential USD weakness and capital inflow of USD1trn back into China, causing upward pressure of the currency</li>
<li>The capital inflow comes from potential unwinding of carry trade, as Chinese companies borrow CNY at low interest rate and place capital in USD deposit, at higher interest rate</li>
<li>We think this scenario is unlikely unless China economy is showing strong recovery.  But, if this happens, it will hurt export but positive for HK-listed Chinese property stocks</li>
