USD to CNY 2026 Forecasts

Analysis of recent dollar → yuan forecasts for 2026. We collate forecasts from respected FX analysts together with the latest US dollar to Chinese yuan performance and trends.

 

The current market bias for the USD to CNY exchange rate is bearish, driven by anticipated Federal Reserve rate cuts and a generally strengthening Chinese yuan.

Key drivers include:

  • The Federal Reserve is expected to implement rate cuts, which could weigh on the USD's value against the CNY.
  • China's central bank has hinted at cautious monetary easing, promoting a stronger yuan as yield differentials narrow.
  • Stronger-than-expected economic growth in China could bolster confidence in the yuan's stability.

In the near term, the USD/CNY is likely to trade within a stable range, reflecting current levels around 7.00. Any acceleration in the yuan’s appreciation could arise from the People's Bank of China's proactive measures to stabilize its currency amid external pressures. Conversely, the downside risk could stem from unexpected economic setbacks in China, potentially leading to renewed US dollar strength.
