The People’s Bank of China (PBOC) set the USD/CNY reference rate at 7.1907 on Monday, a slight strengthening from the previous rate of 7.1992. This adjustment signals a calibrated approach by Chinese authorities as they navigate economic headwinds while maintaining currency stability.
The move comes amid ongoing efforts by the PBOC to balance market forces with policy objectives, particularly as the yuan faces external pressure from a robust U.S. dollar. By setting the rate at this level, the central bank reinforces its commitment to ensuring an orderly foreign exchange market and mitigating excessive volatility.
