    (Updated 8:13 a.m.) SHANGHAI - China shocked global markets on Tuesday by devaluing its currency after a run of poor economic data, a move it billed as a free-market reform but which some experts suspect could be the beginning of a longer-term slide in the exchange rate.

    The devaluation was condemned by US lawmakers from both parties as a grab for an unfair export advantage and could set the stage for testy talks when Chinese President Xi Jinping visits Washington next month given acrimony over issues ranging from cybersecurity to Beijing's territorial ambitions.

    China's central bank set its official guidance rate down nearly 2 percent to 6.2298 yuan per dollar on Tuesday—its lowest point in almost three years—in what it said was a change in methodology to make the currency more responsive to market forces

    Why would a devaluation of the Peso be a good thing, Miguel? You realise that all imported goods will become more expensive? Roll backs of gasoline prices will be a thing of the past and transportation fares will go up, but the income of the commuter will stay the same. And that's a good thing???

    That's OK until the Banko Central puts the cap back on then only the Bank wins again.
    I think we should all be careful what we wish for here "What goes round comes round" & "For every Action" comes to mind. :pompus:

    Just saying.:wink:
