Global investment banks raised their yuan forecasts as China maintains export dominance and stable trade relations with the United States. The currency rose nearly 3% against the dollar this year, reaching 6.8040, and is up about 2.6% versus its major trading partners. Investors are tracking this shift as structural themes like yuan internationalization and a record external surplus drive long-term appreciation.
