The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the USD/CNY reference rate at 7.1876 on Tuesday, marking a slight adjustment from the previous 7.1870. The move signals a measured approach by the central bank as it continues to manage the yuan amid ongoing pressures on the Chinese economy and global market uncertainties.
The reference rate, which serves as a key indicator for the daily trading band, reflects Beijing’s balancing act between supporting growth and maintaining currency stability. The marginal increase may also align with recent global dollar strength, as central banks globally navigate monetary policies to address inflation and economic challenges.
