The Chinese yuan has corrected but remains stable in 2023, with 10-year bond yields slightly retreating under 1.95%. This minor dip is attributed to the People's Bank of China's (PBoC) steady benchmark lending rates for five consecutive months, reflecting a cautious monetary policy amidst early economic recovery signs. While this may reduce the urgency for rate cuts, the PBoC's softer policy stance indicates possible easing later in the year. Additionally, ongoing U.S.-China trade tensions pose further complications, potentially affecting economic growth and adding volatility to the yuan and bond markets.

Trade tensions between the U.S. and China are likely to complicate economic growth forecasting and introduce instability to the yuan.
The wide yield differential with the U.S. constrains the PBoC's ability to implement measures that could alleviate pressure on the yuan.
