BEIJING, Sept. 23 (Xinhua) -- As the United States takes a further step to end its loose monetary policy with a portfolio draw-down plan, for China the pressure from draining the dollar liquidity of its currency is set to be largely limited.


Many economists believe that given China's sound economic fundamentals and abundant foreign reserves, there is no need to worry about exchange rate volatility or massive capital outflows.


The U.S. Federal Reserve announced this week that it would keep interest rates unchanged Cheap Paul Konerko Jersey , but, as anticipated, also start to slowly unwind its huge 4.5-trillion-U.S. dollar balance sheet from October.


"Balance sheet reduction, like a rate hike, is a necessity for the Fed to normalize its monetary policy Cheap Ozzie Guillen Jersey ," said Wang Qing, analyst with Golden Credit Rating International.


The Fed's balance sheet has ballooned to around 4.5 trillion U.S. dollars following three rounds of quantitative easing to withstand the impact of the 2008 global financial crisis.


However, the unwinding decision, which will directly withdraw monetary base from the market and tighten dollar liquidity, did not cause much of a market stir as it was largely expected.


Following the Fed's announcement Cheap Luis Aparicio Jersey , U.S. stocks wavered in a narrow range Wednesday, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average adding 41.79 points (0.19 percent) to 22,412.59. The S&P 500 inched up 1.59 points (0.06 percent) to 2,508.24.


The U.S. dollar index, a measure of the dollar against a basket of other major currencies Cheap Ron Santo Jersey , increased 0.83 percent to 92.558 in late trading on Wednesday, but retreated to around 92 by Friday.


Meanwhile, the central parity rate of the Chinese yuan weakened 197 basis points to 6.5867 against the U.S. dollar Thursday. On Friday, it strengthened 6 basis points back to 6.5861 against the greenback.


Zhao Qingming, chief economist with China Financial Futures Exchange Cheap Jeff Keppinger Jersey , said the swift rise of the U.S. dollar was largely related to its previous falls.


After skidding to a two-year low earlier this month, the dollar index started to pick up strength in the past two weeks as market worries over geopolitical tensions on the Korean Peninsula and Hurricane Irma eased.


Although the balance sheet reduction announcement was a strong support for the greenback rebound and seemed to put slight pressure on the yuan, in view of the global market the reaction of the yuan was moderate, Zhao said.
