U.S. Spares China From Currency Manipulator Label

The US Treasury Department's latest report did not label China as a currency manipulator, as China did not meet the necessary criteria. The Treasury has lowered the threshold for being on a currency watch list, adding countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Italy. Despite not naming China a manipulator, the Treasury continues to monitor it closely. The report discusses potential changes in criteria, referencing the 2015 Trade Facilitation Act and the 1988 Omnibus Act. The Trump administration remains focused on addressing currency manipulation, considering tariffs and penalties for countries that subsidize or weaken their currencies.
