CNBC reports that don’t expect the Chinese yuan to become a “safe-haven” alternative to the dollar or U.S. Treasurys anytime soon, says Ebrahim Rahbari, global head of foreign exchange analysis at Citi.
“I’m very skeptical,” Rahbari told CNBC on Thursday, when asked if the Chinese currency could develop a safe-haven status of its own.
Rahbari explained so-called safe-haven assets typically have certain attributes. Firstly, the analyst said, they tend to offer a long-term store of value function. In the shorter-term, he added, they also provide “refuge” during “periods of crisis.”
“Clearly, the yuan doesn’t qualify,” Rahbari said.
“You can’t get in and out, both in terms of how easy it is to access … the local financial markets but also because the liquidity simply isn’t there in a lot of the … assets still,” he said.
As a result, even if the outlook for the Chinese economy and its financial markets is “broadly more benign,” the yuan has a “very, very long way ahead” before it can become a real alternative to the dollar and Treasurys, the Citi analyst said.
“For the time being, there’s a bit of a debate whether … the euro can have a bit of a window to … enter that fray again. But I think the yuan, there’s still a long, long time away,” Rahbari said.

Izvršenje trgovinskih operacija sa finansijskim instrumentima upotrebom marginalne trgovine pruža velike mogućnosti i omogućava investitorima ostvarivanje visokih prihoda. Međutim, takav vid trgovine povezan je sa potencijalno visokim nivoom rizika od gubitka sredstava. Проведение торговых операций на финанcовых рынках c маржинальными финанcовыми инcтрументами открывает широкие возможноcти, и позволяет инвеcторам, готовым пойти на риcк, получать выcокую прибыль, но при этом неcет в cебе потенциально выcокий уровень риcка получения убытков. Iz tog razloga je pre započinjanja trgovine potrebno odlučiti o izboru odgovarajuće investicione strategije, uzimajući u obzir raspoložive resurse.
