The Chinese yuan is the commonly used name for the currency of the People’s Republic of China. Officially, the modern Chinese currency is called the Renminbi, while the yuan is the primary unit of that currency. The currency is used in China, but not in Hong Kong and Macau. The first renminbi banknotes were introduced in December 1948. The yuan was pegged to the US dollar through the most part of its history, though since 2005 China allowed it to float in a narrow corridor and intends to widen the free-float range over time as a part of the transition from central planning to a free market economy. The usage of the yuan in international trade is limited by severe regulations that forbid the currency to be used in transactions with foreign entities. China showed willingness to ease these regulations as it strives to make the yuan new reserve currency. China made agreements with Russia, Vietnam, and Thailand that allow trade with those countries to be settled directly in renminbi.
The Chinese yuan reversed its recent downward trend against the US dollar to kick off the trading week, breaking below 6.7 on positive economic data.

The Chinese yuan is extending its losing streak against a basket of major currency rivals on Tuesday.

While the numbers are positive, they still suggest sluggishness in China.
The Chinese yuan paused its rally last week after touching a 52-week high of 6.75 against the US dollar.

Can the yuan maintain its upward trajectory?
The Chinese yuan is continuing to make gains against the US dollar on Tuesday ahead of the manufacturing and non-manufacturing purchasing managers’ index (PMI) readings.

Could the yuan defy market expectations even more?
The Chinese yuan is extending its winning streak against the US dollar to start the trading week, driven by a liquidity injection and a recovering economy.

The Chinese yuan is looking to start another winning streak after the currency suspended its momentum against the US dollar.
