Chinese Yuan - Summary

The offshore yuan weakened to around 6.71 per dollar on Monday, reversing gains from the previous week as a stronger US dollar weighed on the currency. The greenback continued to gain momentum, supported by euro weakness amid mounting concerns over France's fiscal outlook and persistent political deadlock. This came even as traders further pared expectations for a near-term Federal Reserve rate hike. Meanwhile, investors continued to evaluate China's latest stimulus measures amid subdued trading during the National Day holiday. The package, Beijing's most significant policy support effort since September 2024, is designed to help the economy meet the government's 4.5%-5.0% growth target this year rather than engineer a broad-based economic revival. The measures include newly announced mortgage subsidies, expanded central bank funding facilities, and a State Council commitment to introduce "a package of practical and effective additional policies.".

Chinese Yuan
The USDCNY exchange rate is a reference rate not used in actual currency trading. When investors or entities want to exchange dollars for the Chinese currency, they do so using the USDCNH exchange rate set in Hong Kong. The People's Bank of China sets the yuan's mid-point rate and the onshore yuan (USDCNY) is allowed to trade 2% higher or lower than the PBoC’s central reference rate. The offshore yuan (USDCNH) which trades outside the mainland is not controlled. The USDCNY and the USDCNH are not very different and usually trade less than a few cents apart. China's Foreign Exchange Trade System published a new yuan index, on December 11th, 2015 including 13 currencies and extended it on January 1st 2017 to 24. The CFETS RMB Index measures the value of yuan against a basket of 24 major currencies, with weights based on international trade and has an end-2014 base year. The USD accounts for the largest share (22.4 percent), followed by the euro (accounting for 16.3 percent) and the yen (11.5 percent). The index also includes the currencies of Hong Kong, UK, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Switzerland, Canada, Malaysia, Russia, Thailand, South Africa, South Korea, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hungary, Poland, Denmark, Sweden, Norway, Turkey and Mexico. .

Offshore Yuan Extends Gains
The offshore yuan strengthened to around 6.70 per dollar on Tuesday, extending gains from the previous session as expectations for policy stimulus grew to support domestic demand and economy. China’s government bond issuance is set to accelerate in Q4 after local governments used only 81% of their annual special bond quota in the first nine months of 2026, while the State Council said it may activate unused borrowing quotas from prior years, potentially allowing debt sales to exceed the remaining 2026 allocation. The prospect of increased debt issuance comes as concerns over China’s economic growth and domestic consumption deepen. Meanwhile, investors looked ahead to a batch of official and private PMI surveys due on Wednesday, with particular attention on assessing the resilience of China’s manufacturing sector, which is supported by solid foreign demand and strength in technology-related industries.

Offshore Yuan Extends Losses For 4th Session
The offshore yuan depreciated to around 6.72 per dollar on Friday, marking its fourth straight session of losses as traders weighed developments from the Trump-Xi summit in Washington. Artificial intelligence was a key topic during Thursday’s White House meeting, with both leaders discussing how to manage competition in the rapidly evolving sector. Ahead of the talks, Trump reiterated his opposition to stricter AI guardrails, while Xi said both countries have the “capability and responsibility” to ensure the technology remains under human control. Separately, Xi urged the US to explicitly oppose Taiwan independence, marking his first public appeal for Trump to reconsider Washington’s longstanding stance on the self-governed island. The White House has yet to release an official readout of the meeting, leaving Trump's response unclear. Externally, the yuan remained under pressure from a firmer US dollar as markets priced in around a 67% chance of a Federal Reserve rate hike in October.
