SHANGHAI/HONG KONG China's yuan fell to an 11-year low against the US dollar yesterday, and stocks dropped as the Sino-US trade war sharply escalated.
Share prices also tumbled in Hong Kong as trade tensions mounted and after a weekend flare-up in violence during anti-government protests. The onshore yuan slumped as much as 0.7 per cent in the first few minutes of trading to 7.15 per dollar, its weakest since February 2008 and its second biggest one-day drop of the month.But the currency later pared losses after US President Donald Trump said that he believed Beijing wanted to make a trade deal.
The Chinese authorities have allowed the tightly managed yuan to slide some 3.6 per cent so far this month as trade tensions between Beijing and Washington have worsened, sparking fears of a global currency war.
