Group 2: External and Internal Factors Influencing RMB - Externally, the RMB's appreciation was supported by a warming external economic environment following agreements between China and the US, alongside a depreciation of the USD due to various pressures, including the Federal Reserve's shift to a loose monetary policy [5][6]. - Internally, strong export performance and resilience in the financial market contributed to the RMB's strength, with exports showing unexpected rebounds and a trade surplus exceeding 1 trillion USD for the first time in 2025 [5][6]. Group 3: Future Outlook for 2026 - Moving into 2026, the RMB is expected to continue a gradual appreciation against the USD, supported by a favorable external environment and a potential narrowing of interest rate differentials between China and the US [8][9]. - The RMB's asset attractiveness is anticipated to rise, attracting cross-border capital inflows, although there may be a decline in export growth, which could weaken the trade surplus's support for the exchange rate [9][10]. - Analysts predict that the RMB will likely fluctuate within the 6.9 to 7.3 range against the USD throughout 2026, with the potential for a mild appreciation against a basket of currencies [10][11].

开年以来，人民币对美元持续运行于7下方。从月线看，2025年4月以来，人民币对美元整体持续波动升 值。2025年全年，美元对在岸人民币贬值4.24%。与此对应，人民币对美元币值全年较大幅度提升。进 入2026年，人民币对美元是否会持续维持2025年态势？日前，在中国财富管理50人论坛2025年会上，中 银证券全球首席经济学家管涛现场分析，短期来看，利好人民币的因素占上风。例如美元继续走弱，中 国2025年有望顺利完成5%左右的经济增长目标，这些因素都提振了市场信心。但是，往后看，管涛认 为不确定性是存在的。第一，美元未必会像大家想象的那样在2026年大幅贬值。参考历史数据，2017年 美元下跌，但在2018年反弹，并未连续贬值。第二，外部环境是否稳定尚存变数。第三，2025年经济增 长韧性很大程度上得益于强劲的外需，如果2026年外需出现扰动，我们还需要付出更加艰辛的努力。因 此，对于所谓的"新周期来了"，还要谨慎看待。2025年12月下旬召开的中国人民银行货币政策委员会 2025年第四季度例会提出，增强外汇市场韧性，稳定市场预期，防范汇率超调风险，保持人民币汇率在 合理均衡水平上的基本稳定。（每经） ...
