The currency could climb to 6.20 per dollar, a level it last reached before it was devalued in 2015, if there’s further progress in US-China talks, he added. “China’s export boom will continue into the first quarter of 2022, sustaining the nation’s large trade surplus,” said Scotiabank foreign-exchange strategist Qi Gao.
