Live rates, cached for speed

Every visit pulls the current CNY/USD rate from Frankfurter (built on ECB reference data) unless a rate fetched in the last 6 hours is already saved in your browser. Conversion is pure client-side math: amount times rate, updated on every keystroke. If the feed is unreachable, the page says so instead of showing a stale number.

Why the rate changes daily

The People's Bank of China sets a daily reference rate and manages the yuan within a band, so policy signals matter more than pure market flows. For everyday use, treat the figure here as the mid-market benchmark: any bank or exchange-booth quote worse than this includes their margin, so compare before you commit.
