## Resource

In Episode 53 of China Economy with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna examine a surprising trend: despite trade tensions and a weakening yuan, Chinese corporations are piling into US Treasuries. They break down the data—including a trade-weighted dollar index at 120.1 and yuan at 6.77 per dollar—and explore the motivations behind this capital flow. Are companies hedging against domestic risks, or is this a vote of confidence in US assets? The hosts also discuss how this pattern affects Chinese stocks, with the FXI up 1.8% in the past week, and what it means for Beijing's policy choices. A sharp, data-driven conversation for anyone following Asia-Pacific markets and global capital flows. #ChinaEconomy #USTreasuries #CapitalFlows #Yuan #DollarIndex #FXI #ChineseStocks #TradeTensions #Hedging #CorporateStrategy #AsiaMarkets #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Economics #PodcastEpisode #Episode53 #LucasAndLuna #ChinaTrade Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
