The Chinese Yuan (CNY) saw a moderate rise against the Japanese Yen (JPY), trading at 22.1410. The increase of 0.0179 points, or 0.081%, indicates stronger market confidence in the Yuan, potentially driven by positive economic data from China.

The CNY experienced a noticeable drop against the USD, with the exchange rate at 0.1407. This decline of 0.00022 points, or 0.15%, reflects market concerns over China's economic prospects, possibly influenced by recent trade tensions and economic policy adjustments.

EUR/CHF: Significant Gain

The Euro (EUR) posted a significant gain against the Swiss Franc (CHF), reaching 0.9831. The increase of 0.0046 points, or 0.47%, highlights strong investor confidence in the Euro, likely buoyed by positive economic indicators from the Eurozone.
