What is the USD/CNY exchange rate today?

1 US Dollar buys 6.74473 Chinese Yuan, the mid-market rate from Twelve Data, as of Aug 12, 2026, 8:50 PM UTC. The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices banks trade at — the fair reference rate, not the price you’ll be charged.

How often does the USD/CNY rate update?

The live rate refreshes about once a minute, and every reading is stamped with its own UTC time so you always know how fresh it is. Past daily points are immutable — once a day closes, its rate never changes.

Why is this different from my bank’s rate?

The rate here is mid-market; banks and apps quote a slightly worse rate and keep the difference as their margin. For example, change $1,000.00 at 6.74473 and you’d receive CN¥6,744.73. A provider adding a 2% margin would give about CN¥6,609.84 — roughly CN¥134.89 less. Compare any quote against the mid-market rate to see the true cost.

How has USD/CNY moved recently?

Over the last 64 trading days, USD/CNY ranged from 6.74318 to 6.81093, averaging 6.77551. Each point is a daily close; weekends and holidays have no published fix, so the line skips them.
