Story summary
  • China's yuan rose to 6.867 per United States dollar (U.S. dollar) on Wednesday, its strongest in nearly three years.
  • The People's Bank of China set the midpoint rate at 6.9321, the strongest since May 2023.
  • This appreciation stems from easing U.S.-China trade tensions and exporters converting earnings ahead of the Lunar New Year.
  • Analysts say the yuan could revert to following broader U.S. dollar trends once seasonal conversions ease.
