The offshore yuan strengthened to around 7.18 per dollar on Tuesday, marking its third consecutive session of gains and returning to its highest level since November 2024. The move followed remarks from US President Trump, who stated that China had agreed to eliminate non-tariff barriers on American goods. This came on the heels of a temporary trade truce between the two nations, under which most tariffs were suspended for 90 days. As part of the deal, the US slashed tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% to 30%, while China reduced its tariffs on US goods from 125% to 10%. The recent momentum in talks suggests that additional concessions could be on the horizon if negotiations continue to progress. Meanwhile, China’s latest inflation data for April underscored persistent economic weakness, with consumer prices falling 0.1% year-on-year for the third straight month and producer prices dropping 2.7%, marking the sharpest decline in six months.

The USDCNY decreased 0.0155 or 0.22% to 7.1849 on Tuesday May 13 from 7.2004 in the previous trading session. Historically, the USDCNY reached an all time high of 8.73 in January of 1994. Chinese Yuan - data, forecasts, historical chart - was last updated on May 13 of 2025.

The USDCNY decreased 0.0155 or 0.22% to 7.1849 on Tuesday May 13 from 7.2004 in the previous trading session.

Looking forward, we estimate it to trade at 7.37 in 12 months time.

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. .
