BEIJING - The Chinese currency has seen sharp volatility against the US dollar this week as a strengthening dollar stokes worries of the yuan's depreciation.

The yuan continued to decline against the dollar on Wednesday with its spot exchange rate closing at 6.2480 per US dollar, down 45 basis points from Tuesday, according to data released by the China Foreign Exchange Trade System.

The rate also dropped almost 1.95 percent from the central parity rate, just short of the two-percent floatation band allowed by authorities.

On Monday, the Chinese currency sank to its lowest level in seven months by closing at 6.2542 before rebounding to 6.2435 on Tuesday.

Economists believe the Chinese currency's volatility is caused by normal fluctuations, which have been triggered by quantitative easing measures by the European Central Bank and interest rate cuts in markets such as Switzerland, Denmark, Egypt, India, Turkey and Canada.

"Some central banks are successively cutting rates to cope with rising deflation risks and lift economic momentum. These measures and particularly the ECB's bond-buying program were the direct cause of the yuan's slump," said Wen Bin, chief researcher at China Minsheng Bank.

Depreciation pressure mounts

The dollar started an upward trend in July last year against sharp falls by other major currencies, including the euro. The US Dollar Index has gained nearly 18 percent since then.

Analysts said the trend weighs negatively on the yuan's rate against the dollar, especially when a looming interest rate hike by the US Federal Reserve has led to expectations of a stronger dollar.

Taking into account an economic slowdown in China, Wen predicted the yuan, also known as the renminbi, will likely depreciate by as much as 3 percent against the dollar within the year, reaching around 6.4 per dollar.

"The yuan will very likely depreciate against the dollar, but this will happen in a limited zone," said Ding Zhijie, a professor at the University of International Business and Economics. Ding also predicted the yuan to trade below 6.4 against the dollar within the year.
