China’s offshore yuan strengthened further on Thursday, dipping below the benchmark rate of seven against the US dollar – another sign of the currency’s continued appreciation after a brief breach of the same threshold on Wednesday evening.
The recent fluctuations mark the currency’s first appreciation past the major psychological marker in 15 months, suggesting a change in market sentiment and providing more support for the global investors and economists who have argued the currency has been undervalued.
The offshore yuan’s exchange rate reached a high of 6.9960 on Thursday morning, according to figures from Chinese financial data provider Wind, after briefly moving to 6.9999 on Wednesday. The onshore yuan, meanwhile, hit 7.01 against the US dollar on Thursday. Both rates were reached for the first time since September 2024.
The yuan’s recent strengthening reflects both a weaker US dollar and shifts in the supply and demand of foreign exchange, analysts said.
Sustained trade surpluses and concentrated settlement of foreign exchange among companies have provided a temporary boost in demand for China’s currency, compounded by investor concerns related to the sustainability of US government debt.

Mr Perryman said he was usually “super allergic” to social media, but had been sharing videos as part of his campaign to his 40,000 followers.
He is familiar with getting strangers to meet up; for his day job, he organises events for singletons.
Mr Perryman, who now lives in Stratford in east London, said he had a “real mix” and a “lovely bunch” of people coming to his scheduled meet-ups. He hopes to keep in touch with his new friends.
“I don’t want to put myself out there and then disappear after people have had the courage to come out and see me on my own in the pub; I’m not going to leave them behind.
“Sometimes a four-hour conversation like that is a deeper conversation than you might have with a friend that you only see once every four months or whatever, and it’s really nice.”
