Nomura's USD/CNY central parity fixing model projects a rate of 6.7882 for June 30, 2026, representing a 293-basis-point decrease from the previous fixing of 6.8175 and standing 47 basis points below the last official spot close. When incorporating the counter-cyclical factor, the adjusted model projection settles at 6.7965, which is 210 basis points lower than the prior midpoint.
The report deconstructs the primary drivers behind this projected movement, identifying the Korean won, British pound, Russian ruble, and euro as the top four currency contributors to the calculation based on overnight market fluctuations. Additionally, Nomura provides a historical overview of unadjusted model errors, noting significant volatility in recent performance. The daily fluctuation band for the USD/CNY fixing has ranged between negative 150 and positive 100 basis points between November 2025 and June 2026.
While the analysis does not assign explicit directional forecasts or ratings, it outlines a calendar of major political and economic events for the second half of 2026 that could significantly influence RMB policy. Key upcoming milestones include the Politburo meeting in late July, the National Day Golden Week from October 1 to 7, the November APEC summit, the Central Economic Work Conference in mid-December, another Politburo meeting in late December, and a planned visit by President Xi Jinping to the United States at year-end.
