BEIJING (China Daily/ANN): The renminbi strengthened against the US dollar to reach 6.3858 on Friday, a record high since May 2018, but experts said the Chinese currency's rapid appreciation may not last long as market forces will result in a two-way fluctuation of the exchange rate.
The latest signals from policymakers indicated that China will let the market demand and supply relationship determine the RMB's value, and appreciation is neither a tool to stimulate exports nor to offset the impact of rising commodity prices, they said after the currency soared to multiyear highs.
