Economist are now predicting that the Chinese government are likely to revalue the yuan by September, increasing its value 5-10% and widening trading band, the South China Morning Post reported, citing analysts from JP Morgan and ING.

Beijing has been fighting international pressure, particularly from the US, to let the yuan rise, but the government maintains that its ultimate goal is a free-floating currency.
