Goldman Sachs economist Song Yu and others said in a report that China's trade surplus reached a record high last weekend, which has become a factor restricting the devaluation of the RMB. This partly explains the relative stability of the RMB's intermediate price in the past few trading days.

Goldman Sachs economists continue to point out that in view of the weakness of China's domestic economy, the bank still expects that the central parity of RMB will further decline in March.
