This assignment comprises two questions, designed to test students awareness on topics involving speculative and hedging strategies. In Question 1, students are expected to conduct research on the impact of a possible Chinese yuan devaluation on Chinese and US companies’ hedging strategies. There should be a brief introduction, the main text and a conclusion section. Students are expected to write clearly and concisely, with appropriate in-text citation and references provided (Harvard system). In both questions, the emphasis is on analytical thinking to assess the effectiveness and implications of the hedging strategies.Question代写

Question 1  (20 marks)

China was evaluating the potential impact of a gradual yuan depreciation as the country’s leaders weigh their options in a trade spat with U.S. President Donald Trump.

Senior Chinese officials are studying what would happen if China devalues the yuan to offset the impact of any trade deal that curbs exports. Both the U.S. and China proposed tariffs on $50 billion of goods and Trump instructed his administration to consider levies on an additional $100 billion of Chinese products.Question代写

While Trump regularly bashed China on the campaign trail for keeping its currency artificially weak, the yuan has gained about 9 percent against the greenback since he took office. In March 2018, the Chinese currency touched the strongest level since August 2015, when China implemented a two percent devaluation on the yuan.

Required: Critically evaluate the impact of a possible trade war and Chinese yuan devaluation on Chinese and US companies, and on their hedging strategies. Your answer should include the advantages and disadvantages of the hedging strategies in light of the possible event outcomes.Question代写
