Forecasts for USD to CNY

 

The recent exchange rate forecasts for the USD to CNY pair suggest a nuanced outlook for the Chinese Yuan. HSBC anticipates the USD/CNY rate to reach 7.20 in 2024, indicating a controlled depreciation of the Yuan in line with China's monetary policy strategies. Looking further ahead, by 2029, HSBC projects the USD/CNY rate to decrease to 6.75, signaling a gradual strengthening of the Yuan amidst a weaker global economy and tightening monetary policies by major central banks. These forecasts take into account the impact of improved US economic performance and expectations of higher yields, while acknowledging deteriorating outlooks for other economies.

How to get a good USD to CNY exchange rate

There are several ways to save on exchange rates when converting US dollar to Chinese yuan:

  1. Shop around for the best USD/CNY exchange rate: Exchange rates can vary significantly between different currency exchange providers, so it's important to compare rates from different sources before making a conversion.
  2. Timing is important: Keep an eye on the USD/CNY rate on currency markets, as exchange rates can fluctuate frequently. Try to make your transactions when the exchange rate is in your favor. You can do this easily with our BER Smart Rate Tracker.
  3. Use a credit/debit or travel card that doesn't charge foreign transaction fees: Some credit cards charge additional fees for transactions made in a foreign currency, so it's important to check with your card issuer to see if they charge these fees and what their exchange rate is.
  4. Use a multi-currency account: Having a multi-currency account allows you to hold and transfer money in both USD and CNY at close to the interbank rate. It also allows you to make payments or withdrawals in the local currency while avoiding high conversion fees.
  5. Buy currency in advance: If you know that you will need foreign currency in the future, consider buying it in advance when the exchange rate is favorable.

The key is reducing excessive costs and fees

Generally speaking, if you are buying Chinese yuan with US dollar, then it's better for the USD/CNY exchange rate to be higher.

However working against you are the fees all foreign exchange providers charge for providing their service. These fees is usually contained within the exchange rate margin (or difference to the mid-rate).

The transaction margin you end up being charged can be considerably reduced by around a few percent (of total amount being exchanged) for travel money and possibly over 5% to 6% when sending money. The exact potential savings depends on the currencies being exchanged and the amount you are transferring and if you are willing to shop around.

Our real-time foreign transfer and travel money/cards comparison calculators make shopping around easy and help you calculate how much you can save.

It's worth noting that while these tips can help you save on exchange rates, it's important to be aware that no single method is guaranteed to provide the best exchange rate in every situation, and it may require some research and comparison-shopping to find the best option for your specific needs.

Will the US dollar rise against the Chinese yuan?

It is almost impossible to predict what an exchange rate will do in the future, the best approach is to monitor the currency markets and transact when an exchange rate moves in your favour.

To help with this you can add USD/CNY to your personalised Rate Tracker to track and benefit from currency movements.
