Goldman Sachs' Yuan Crash Forecast Could Affect Bitcoin Price, Bull Run Ahead?
Goldman Sachs is expecting the Chinese yuan to fall to its lowest since 2008 in the coming months due to the existing US-China trade war, and now the US potential sanctions on China over its feud over Hong Kong. US President Donald Trump has announced earlier that he will be looking to end preferential treatment for Hong Kong in terms of trade and visa-free travel, due to the new security law for Hong Kong approved by Beijing. The yuan has been forecasted by Goldman Sachs to fall to 7.25 per dollar during the next three months before recovering to 7.15 per dollar over six months, then to 7 per dollar in the next year. As the firm sees the yuan falling to its 2008 low, the potential for Bitcoin to experience an explosive price rally has been raised.
