AUD to CNY forecast

The Chinese Renminbi (RMB), also known as the Chinese Yuan (CNY), has depreciated over 9% against the US dollar since April. The reason? The "largest trade war in economic history" between China and the US.

So what does the extreme volatility in the RMB combined with a sustained drop in the Australian dollar mean for the AUD to RMB exchange rate? The rate is swinging between two levels: 4.75 to 5.15.

With so much global economic uncertainty between the US and China, what do the major banks think will happen to the AUD to RMB exchange rate going forward? This article presents major bank outlooks for the AUD to RMB (AUD CNY) and is updated regularly.

AUD to RMB (AUDCNY) bank forecasts trend

The US-China trade war has driven the Chinese Renminbi towards 2-year lows against the US dollar. This is because rising tariffs by the US and China would ultimately raise the prices of goods and services and reduce consumption by the two countries. Slowing down consumption or economic growth also drags currencies down.

Some experts suggest lower consumption from China will reduce demand for Australian exports, which will drag the Australian dollar lower.

A plunging CNY combined with a lesser drop in the AUD, means the AUD CNY exchange rate has jumped 5% since the US implemented tariffs on Chinese goods in May.
