USD/CNH Futures
With the acceleration of the internationalization of the Renminbi (RMB), the international status of the RMB has been on the rise. The RMB is widely used in global trade and investment, and increasingly becoming one of the important international reserve currencies. The pace of reform of the RMB exchange rate regime is gaining momentum at the same time with greater international trade flows, resulting in trends of higher volatility and increased fluctuation in both directions of the exchange rate.
