Related Data

What is INR (Indian Rupee)?

A managed float, not pegged to any other currency - the RBI lets the market set its value but occasionally buys or sells dollars to smooth out sharp swings.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: INR
  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is CNY (Chinese Yuan)?

A managed float: the PBOC sets a daily reference rate each morning and lets the yuan trade within a band (currently ยฑ2%) around it, intervening if it nears the edge.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: CNY
  • Symbol: ยฅ
  • Subunit: 10 jiao = 1 yuan; 100 fen = 1 yuan
  • Issued by: People's Bank of China (PBOC)

Why Does the INR/CNY Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/CNY rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • The PBOC's daily reference rate (the 'fix') - set each morning, often read as a policy signal for how much yuan weakness or strength Beijing will tolerate that day.
  • China's economic data - GDP, trade and manufacturing figures move sentiment on the yuan.
  • China-India trade flows - despite geopolitical tensions, China remains one of the largest sources of Indian imports, especially electronics and machinery.
  • US-China trade relations and tariffs - tension between the world's two largest economies moves the yuan and ripples into every currency it trades against.
  • Capital controls - China restricts free movement of money in and out of the country, so CNY doesn't respond to market forces as freely as fully floating currencies do.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Chinese Yuan a floating currency?

Only partly. The People's Bank of China sets a daily reference rate each morning and lets the yuan trade within a band (currently ยฑ2%) around it - a 'managed float' rather than either a hard peg or a fully free market rate.

What does it mean when the PBOC sets a "weaker" daily fix?

A weaker-than-expected daily reference rate is often read by markets as a signal that Beijing is comfortable with (or actively wants) a softer yuan, typically to support exporters - it's treated as a policy statement, not just a technical number.

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
