Overnight on Dec.6-7, there was a scary episode which showed what this might mean when the Chinese #renminbi fell sharply. It seemed like a deliberate devaluation to show Pres.-elect #Trump who controls China's exchange rate policy. But in the end, it turned out to be a fat fingers goof perpetrated Monday night by a UK money brokerage, ICAP plc. Here again we dodged a bullet, as for some years we owned the ADR, $IAPLY. But in fact the bullet dodged was by the whole world, because a deep renminbi devaluation could have caused a major international incident with the future US Administration, and a test of Trump's temper. Luckily it was just an error by markets.
