China studying yuan depreciation as a tool in U.S. trade row: Bloomberg, citing sources

BEIJING (Reuters) – China is evaluating the potential impact of a gradual yuan depreciation as a tool in the escalating trade dispute with the United States, Bloomberg News reported on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

Senior Chinese officials are studying a two-pronged analysis of the yuan that was prepared by the government, the people said, but the analysis doesn’t mean officials will carry out a devaluation, which would require approval from top leaders, according to Bloomberg.
