As the dust settles on the decision by the MAS in Singapore yesterday in tightening monetary policy by effectively revaluing the Sing Dollar, analysts are warming to the idea that this will be a precursor to China returning to their previous policy of gradual Yuan appreciation. Analysts say China sticks out like a “sore thumb” now that Singapore has moved in such aggressive fashion convinced that the V-shaped recovery in Asia is sustainable. In terms of China it looks like a case of Martha Reeves and the Vandellas “Nowhere to Run, Nowhere to Hide”. As US Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said this week why would China want to run the same monetary policy as the US which it is effectively doing by fixing the Yuan against the US Dollar. It seems the Singapore move might hold more away with China than the U.S. administration. Analysts now generally expect the Yuan to return to a course of steady appreciation as early as next month.
