Chinese Yuan (CNY, ¥): The Chinese Yuan is managed by the People's Bank of China within a controlled exchange-rate framework. It is the official currency of China.

US Dollar (USD, $): The US Dollar is the world's primary reserve currency and the most traded currency on global foreign-exchange markets. It is used in the United States.

Exchange rates respond to interest-rate decisions by central banks such as People's Bank of China and Federal Reserve, inflation data, trade balances, and geopolitical events.

For CNY/USD specifically, shifts in capital flows between China and the United States, changes in commodity prices, and differences in economic growth rates all contribute to daily rate movements.

Over the past 30 days, CNY/USD traded between 0.147006 and 0.148014, with the pair losing 0.22% overall. The current rate of 0.147131 sits below the 30-day midpoint of 0.147510.

Historical context helps you judge whether today's rate is relatively strong or weak, but past performance does not predict future movements. Always compare the rate you are offered against the mid-market figure shown here.

Banks and card providers typically add a 1–4% margin on top of the mid-market rate shown on this page, plus fixed transfer fees. Before exchanging CNY for USD, compare the final amount you will receive — not just the headline rate.

For larger amounts, specialist money-transfer services often beat bank rates. For travel, prepaid multi-currency cards or local ATMs may offer competitive rates depending on your bank's foreign-transaction fees.
