Chinese yuan (renminbi) per US dollar. The yuan is managed by the PBOC within a daily trading band. The 2015 surprise devaluation triggered a global market selloff. The trade war and COVID saw steady yuan weakness as China managed its export competitiveness. The yuan's long-term appreciation from 8.7 in 1994 to 6.3 by 2022 reflects China's economic rise — making this one of the most consequential exchange rate charts of the past 30 years.
