China's onshore yuan has advanced to its strongest level in over a year, erasing its year-to-date losses. This rally is attributed to a broad decline in the dollar and signs of corporate buying. The yuan's strength is further supported by exporters repatriating dollar holdings and the unwinding of short-yuan carry trades. Despite this, some analysts note that the yuan's movement against the dollar has been relatively stable throughout the year. The currency is performing strongly alongside Asia FX ex-Japan, with the yuan on track to close at 2024 highs.
