Don’t under estimate the EU.

The RMB is an extension of the USD. It is pegged to the USD. There is nothing to open up.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Seriously there is no market for the RMB. There is a tight range of trade. You can buy and sell RMB…but the market really has no dynamic of its own. Why bother?

If you are in Shanghai on a forex trading floor you are betting for or against the USD. You are not really betting on the RMB. That is what you open up.
