Chinese Yuan Edges Down Against U.S. Dollar


(MENAFN) China's national currency, the renminbi — commonly known as the yuan — edged lower against the U.S. dollar on Monday, with its central parity rate weakening by 8 pips to 6.9236, according to data released by the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.

Under the current regulatory framework governing China's currency markets, the yuan is permitted to fluctuate by up to 2 percent above or below its official central parity rate within any single trading session on the spot foreign exchange market — a mechanism designed to balance market flexibility with monetary stability.

The daily central parity rate, which serves as the benchmark reference point for yuan trading activity, is determined through a weighted average of prices submitted by authorized market makers prior to the opening of China's interbank market at the start of each business day.
