Goldman calls yuan 25% cheap, predicts rally
Goldman Sachs revised its yuan forecasts higher across all timeframes, calling the currency one of its highest conviction trades for 2026. The bank's GSDEER model shows the yuan trading 30 percent below fair value against the dollar, with analyst Teresa Alves pointing to China's export strength and current account surplus as drivers. New targets of 6.50 yuan per dollar by year-end would represent the strongest level since 2018. The call matters because Goldman correctly predicted the 2005 revaluation cycle, and current positioning shows yuan bears retreating after months of one-way bets.
