Chinese Yuan Hits 4-Year High Ahead of Trump–Xi Meeting
A stronger yuan raises the foreign price of Chinese goods as the United States and Europe press Beijing over its large trade surplus and reliance on exports.
The Chinese yuan has reached its strongest level against the U.S. dollar in over four years. This occurred as the People’s Bank of China set a stronger daily midpoint, leading to the onshore yuan closing at its highest daily rate since July 2022. A stronger yuan makes Chinese exports more expensive for U.S. buyers and foreign goods cheaper for Chinese consumers.

- This development precedes a meeting between Chinese Communist Party leader Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump.
- The People’s Bank of China strengthened its daily midpoint for the ninth consecutive trading day.
