Going forward, market participants should closely monitor the interplay between the economic policies of China and the interest rate decisions from the Federal Reserve. The upcoming testimony of Fed Chair Powell and subsequent economic data releases will be crucial in shaping the market’s expectations and potential movements in the USDCNH pair.
