I think exactly as Godot on this. As long as they don't move markets too much they can even stockpile. Seems like a nice simple hedge against building up too much USD holdings. Wouldn't work for the Saudis I guess but the Chinese can actually use what they buy. Is there a significant Chinese SPR yet ?

Hello Darfot, <<... China already has such horrible banking problems and enormous amounts of non-performing loans at the SOEs>> ... this is precisely why even if the RMB manages a 5% revaluation upward, it will come back down again due to PBOC (People Bank of China - Chinese central bank) dropping money from helicopters to fix the issues you pointed out.

Competitive devaluation may be the natural outcome of deflationary bouts.
