1. RMB Exchange Rate Performance & Market Analysis

1.1 Central Parity Rates of RMB Against Major Currencies (Released by the People’s Bank of China, June 10)

Today’s central parity rates of the RMB diverged across different currencies with mild overall fluctuations. The USD/CNY central parity was set at 6.8130, up 17 basis points from the previous trading day. While the US dollar saw a minor short-term rebound, the RMB remained fundamentally resilient.

The EUR/CNY parity stood at 7.8392, down 8 basis points, reflecting slight weakness in the euro. 100 JPY/CNY fell sharply by 59 basis points to 4.2416, extending the prolonged downtrend of the Japanese yen. The GBP/CNY parity was quoted at 9.0847, rising 177 basis points, making the British pound one of the strongest performers among non-USD currencies.

1.2 Onshore and Offshore RMB Intraday Movements

As of the close of China’s night trading session on June 9, the onshore RMB (CNY) traded at 6.7734 against the US dollar, gaining 108 basis points on the day. Sustained foreign exchange selling demand from domestic enterprises, together with regular trade settlements and repatriated cross-border trade funds, provided solid support for the RMB.

The offshore RMB (CNH) closed at 6.7786 in the New York session. The spread between onshore and offshore RMB stayed at a low level, indicating synchronized movements between domestic and overseas RMB markets. Cross-border capital flows remained stable, with no signs of large-scale unilateral capital inflows or outflows.

From a fundamental perspective, China’s economic recovery has maintained a steady pace, and import and export data continue to show strong momentum. As monetary policy outlooks across major economies become clearer, the RMB faces limited risks of sharp one-sided swings, and range-bound trading will dominate in the short run. Going forward, cross-border capital flows, northbound capital movements and the strength of the US dollar will be the core factors driving RMB trends.

2. US Dollar Index & Major Non-USD Currencies (European and US Sessions, June 9)

2.1 US Dollar Index

The US Dollar Index closed at 99.909, down 0.13% day-on-day, halting its recent modest rebound. The index has been stuck in a consolidation phase recently. Mixed US economic data and shifting market expectations over Federal Reserve rate cuts have capped the dollar’s upside. Meanwhile, easing global geopolitical tensions reduced safe-haven buying for dollar-denominated assets, adding further pressure. Currently, the index hovers around a key round number, with intense bull-bear confrontation and no clear short-term direction.

2.2 European Currencies

EUR/USD settled at 1.1550, up 0.19%. Escalating tensions in the Middle East pushed energy and commodity prices moderately higher, reviving inflationary pressures across the Eurozone. Market expectations for tighter monetary policy from the European Central Bank (ECB) lifted the euro. Nevertheless, the Eurozone’s manufacturing sector and broader real economy have lagged in recovery, restricting the euro’s upside potential. The currency is trading in a range with a mild bullish bias.

GBP/USD closed at 1.3388, rising 0.37% and leading gains among major non-USD currencies. Better-than-expected UK employment and services data, alongside improved global risk sentiment, attracted capital to the risk-sensitive pound. The Bank of England has maintained a hawkish stance and ruled out near-term rate cuts, which has become a major pillar supporting sterling.

2.3 Japanese Yen

USD/JPY traded at 160.36, edging close to the widely recognized key level for potential official foreign exchange intervention. The yen remains under substantial depreciation pressure. Japan’s economic recovery lacks momentum, dragged by sluggish domestic demand and stagnant wage growth, leaving little fundamental support for the currency.

Market consensus suggests the Bank of Japan will raise its policy rate to 1.0% at the monetary policy meeting on June 16, with another rate hike likely in October this year. Despite rising rate hike expectations, the wide interest rate gap between Japan and the US will persist in the near term, limiting the yen’s rebound. Risks of currency intervention by Japanese authorities keep rising.

3. Major Central Bank Policies, International Cooperation & Macroeconomic Events

3.1 Deepened Local Currency Financial Cooperation Between China and Brazil

Central banks of the two countries held a working meeting to accelerate the development of a bilateral local currency settlement system. Both sides agreed to expand local currency accounts, broaden the usage of bilateral currency swap agreements, promote direct trading between the RMB and Brazilian real, and launch pilot programs for cross-border bond connectivity.

This initiative aims to reduce reliance on the US dollar in bilateral trade and investment and expand financial cooperation channels. It represents a key step for emerging economies to diversify currency usage and mitigate risks tied to a single dominant currency, and will facilitate the broader international adoption of the RMB in the long term.

3.2 Bank of Japan Policy and FX Intervention Updates

In addition to the projected rate hikes in June and October, market sources indicate the Bank of Japan may suspend its government bond reduction program after April 2027, gradually rolling back the long-standing ultra-loose monetary policy framework.

The persistent yen depreciation has driven up import costs and imported inflation in Japan, adversely affecting household livelihoods and small and medium-sized enterprises. Japanese officials have stepped up verbal intervention, while selling US Treasury bonds to secure US dollar liquidity and prop up the yen. Divergences between Japan and the US over monetary policy and foreign exchange management have become increasingly apparent.

3.3 European Central Bank Policy Outlook

Rising commodity prices amid geopolitical turmoil have triggered a rebound in Eurozone inflation, reversing the previous downward trend. Major institutions forecast the ECB will raise interest rates by 25 basis points at its upcoming policy meeting to curb renewed inflation pressures. The ECB’s tightening moves will continue to shape trends for the euro and other European currencies.

3.4 US Domestic Policy Developments

The US House of Representatives formally passed the Secure America Act, allocating 70 billion US dollars mainly for border control and immigration management. The legislation will not deliver an immediate impact on the US real economy or monetary policy, yet it will reshape the country’s fiscal structure and may exert subtle influence on the US dollar’s fundamentals over the long run.

4. Core Market Trading Logic & Key Focus Areas

4.1 US Inflation Data to Guide Fed Rate Cut Expectations

The US May Consumer Price Index (CPI) will be released on June 11 (Beijing Time tomorrow). Markets expect core CPI to rise 0.3% month-on-month. This dataset is critical for judging whether the Federal Reserve will launch rate cuts in July. A hotter-than-expected inflation reading will delay rate cuts and bolster the US dollar. Conversely, cooling inflation will boost rate cut bets, weighing on the dollar and lifting most non-USD currencies.

4.2 Escalating US-Japan Currency Tensions with Heightened Risks

With USD/JPY lingering near the intervention threshold, sudden official currency intervention by Japanese authorities could happen at any time, bringing high risks of sharp short-term exchange rate swings. Divergent monetary policies and a persistent interest rate gap between the two nations will sustain fierce bull-bear battles, making this currency pair highly speculative.

4.3 Strengthened Correlation Between Commodity and Forex Markets

Precious metals posted sharp losses recently: gold tumbled 2% and silver plunged 5.5%. Global safe-haven sentiment faded notably, with capital flowing out of defensive assets and risk appetite improving. Volatility in commodity prices has spilled over to commodity-linked currencies and European currencies, creating correlated market movements that require close monitoring.

5. Key Economic Data Releases on June 10 (in chronological order)

14:00 (Beijing Time): Final German May CPI. This figure gauges underlying inflation in the Eurozone and directly impacts ECB policy decisions and euro movements.
16:00 (Beijing Time): Eurozone April Industrial Production. The data reflects the health of the regional real economy and influences the euro’s medium-term trend.
20:30 (Beijing Time): US May Producer Price Index (PPI) and Weekly Initial Jobless Claims. PPI serves as a leading indicator for inflation, while jobless claims signal conditions in the US labor market. These two releases will be the biggest market catalysts and drive volatility across the entire forex market in the evening.

Overall Market Summary

The global forex market is currently driven by economic data and policy expectations, characterized by choppy range-bound trading with no clear one-sided trend for major currencies. Investors are advised to focus on the European and US economic data due later today and adjust trading strategies according to the results.
