The US dollar's exchange rate surged past 7.3285 Chinese yuan on Thursday, marking its highest point in nearly 16 years, Sputnik reported citing trading data.

As of 11:06 AM GMT, the dollar continued its upward trajectory, reaching 7.3281 yuan, a significant increase from the previous day's closing rate of 7.316 yuan. Moments before, the Chinese currency experienced a significant setback, hitting a 16-year low when the exchange rate briefly touched 7.3288 yuan for one US dollar.

The rapid appreciation of the US dollar against the yuan has sent ripples through global financial markets, with analysts suggesting that this shift could have far-reaching implications for international trade.
