China's Yuan Fluctuates Ahead of Xi-Trump Meeting Amid Trade Tensions
China's yuan experienced fluctuations ahead of a planned meeting between Presidents Xi Jinping and Donald Trump. On Tuesday, the yuan reached its strongest level since early 2023 after the People's Bank of China (PBOC) set a stronger midpoint rate for the tenth consecutive session. However, on Wednesday, the PBOC set a weaker midpoint, ending this streak amid rising trade tensions with Europe and concerns over exports. Markets are closely watching the upcoming talks, which may influence trade relations and currency policy.
