Yuan Rally, PBOC Fixing and Russia's CNY Crunch Now
The yuan strengthened this week—CNH touched ~6.93 per USD—driven by seasonal FX demand, improved Sino‑U.S. sentiment and measured PBOC fixing.

PBOC Tightens Grip as Yuan Strengthens to 6.97 USD!
Over the past week China has signalled a managed path toward yuan appreciation: the PBOC set firmer central parity levels while using softer daily fixings to moderate the pace, offshore CNH hit a 32-month high near 6.97/USD, and Xi reiterated renminbi internationalization.

The PBOC used its daily midpoint fixing to moderate gains (e.g., a 7.0173 fixing vs. a 6.9730 estimate), signaling controlled appreciation. Stimulus-led credit growth and slowly rising inflation support a gradual yuan strengthening to the mid-6.8s over 2026 according to major banks.
PBOC Holds Yuan Stable as Offshore CNH Surges Now!
Over the past week the offshore yuan (CNH) strengthened sharply—reaching near 6.98 per USD—while the PBOC signalled liquidity easing through RRR and rate moves but reiterated a policy of keeping the renminbi "basically stable."

State Banks Step In, Yuan Gains Curb Amid Fed Cut.
China’s state-owned banks intervened in early December by buying dollars to slow the yuan’s rapid appreciation, while mixed domestic inflation data and IMF pressure on export reliance complicate the currency outlook.
