Core Viewpoint - The recent strengthening of the RMB against the USD is driven by multiple internal and external factors, including a weak USD index, strong domestic equity market performance, and favorable monetary policy signals from the Federal Reserve [1][3][4]. External Factors - The Federal Reserve's shift in policy, particularly the indication of a potential rate cut in September, has significantly impacted the currency market, leading to a nearly 10% decline in the USD index since the beginning of the year [3]. - The RMB's appreciation is partly due to the accelerated rise in the RMB/USD central parity rate, with the central bank recently issuing 45 billion yuan in offshore RMB central bank bills, tightening offshore RMB liquidity [3][4]. Internal Factors - The recovery of China's capital market has attracted cross-border capital inflows, with significant increases in major stock indices: the Shanghai Composite Index rose by 7.97%, the Shenzhen Component Index by 15.32%, and the ChiNext Index by 24.13% in August [4]. - Continuous expansion of the trade surplus in recent months has provided real demand-side support for the RMB exchange rate [4][5]. Economic Outlook - The ongoing improvement in China's economic fundamentals, driven by structural transformation and supportive policies, is expected to provide long-term support for the stability of the RMB exchange rate [4][5]. - Analysts predict that the RMB exchange rate will likely maintain a steady trend, with expectations of a gradual convergence of onshore, offshore, and central parity rates [5].
