Understanding USD to CNY Exchange Rates
The Chinese Yuan (CNY), also known as the Renminbi (RMB), is the official currency of China. CNY and RMB are interchangeable terms referring to the same currency - CNY is the ISO code while RMB is the currency name. USD/CNY exchange rates are heavily influenced by People's Bank of China (PBOC) monetary policy, US-China trade relations, foreign exchange reserves management, China's economic growth, and capital flow controls. The yuan is managed within a trading band by the PBOC, making it less volatile than free-floating currencies but still subject to market forces and policy decisions.
