China’s yuan trades 7:1 against the dollar
China’s currency, the yuan, has continued its strong ascent in value against the US dollar, as the central bank set the medium parity trading rate at 7:0015 against the greenback on Tuesday. There only exists a wafer thin distance to reach the benchmark of 7:1 yuan vs dollar ratio. The People’s Bank of China abolished a fixed rate targeting the US dollar in July 2005. Since then, the yuan’s value has been determined by the market performance of a basket of major foreign currencies, including the dollar, the euro, and the Japanese yen
