A statistical projection, not a prediction of policy and not investment advice. How the projections work.
Rate-implied forward
Where the exchange rate would have to be for an investor to earn the same by holding dollars or the other currency, given today's interest rates: 3m forward 6.6497; 6m forward 6.6076; 12m forward 6.5242. Shown as ◇ on the chart.
This is what the interest-rate gap prices in, not a prediction: in practice the spot rate has often moved the other way, and over a few months a simple no-change assumption is usually at least as accurate.

About this data
Daily noon buying rate in New York for the Chinese yuan renminbi, in yuan per US dollar, from the Federal Reserve's H.10 release, via FRED.
What it measures
How many yuan one US dollar buys. China manages the currency within a band around a daily reference rate set by the People's Bank of China, so it moves less freely than most major currencies.
Why it matters
A weaker yuan makes Chinese exports cheaper and can blunt the effect of US tariffs, which is why the exchange rate is a recurring issue in US–China trade talks and in the Treasury's semiannual report on currency practices.
