Re: Saudi oil priced in yuan

Good luck with this fantasy.

The yuan (actually, called the renminbi when it is traded internationally) trades at a fixed exchange rate.

It will never work as a reserve currency unless it is allowed to float at a free market price.

It doesn’t have to be THE reserve currency. There can be more than one.

The thing that would kiss us would be issuing a Yuan tied to a fixed gold value. And China sets the value of gold. It would be a parallel currency, used for external trade only.

It’s an “out there” theory…
