On Friday, the Central Bank of the people's Bank of China authorized the China foreign exchange trading center to announce a 6.1495 rise in the RMB against the US dollar, a slight increase of 15 basis points.

After the Ching Ming holidays, the central parity of the renminbi rebounded several times. Although it fell back on Thursday, it finally rebounded with a slight appreciation.

Gao Shanwen, chief economist at Anxin securities, believes that, in the long run, many factors supporting the appreciation of the renminbi over the past 10 years are disappearing and reversing. For example, the current account surplus is narrowing, and the US dollar vulnerable period is coming to an end. The capital outflow control will be released step by step.

But judging from the medium-term trend in the past two or three years, the renminbi is still in the path of appreciation.

P, chief economist of Credit Suisse Asia, wrote in April 9th that the most important reason for the depreciation of the renminbi is that the central bank has broken the expectation of unilateral appreciation of the RMB formed by the market, and is expected to rise to the beginning of the year.

"The volatility of the RMB exchange rate in the future will be higher than before.

Short term, the current spot price of RMB in the 6.19 to 6.22 interval digestion of the previous decline, enterprises can be guided by the middle price, in batches signed hedging products.

It is suggested that enterprises should configure more options products to achieve a win-win situation in both volatile market conditions and enjoy favorable fluctuations.
