Why isn't the Yuan acting like the Euro and Yen?

It's because those two currencies have a "free market"..

If it's "free" for the Yuan to peg against the USD, why don't we peg the dollar against something.. maybe housing prices?

Come on Maurice.. I expect better our of you.. ;0)

agreement with New Zealand would encourage more international trade settlements in the Chinese currency.

China, New Zealand agree 4-billion-US-dollar currency swap
Apr 18, 2011, 9:56 GMT

Beijing - The central banks of China and New Zealand have signed a currency swap agreement worth nearly 4 billion US dollars over the next three years, the Chinese bank said on Monday.

The People's Bank of China said it had agreed the 25-billion-yuan (3.83 billion US dollars) deal with the Reserve Bank of New Zealand for an initial three years.

The agreement was designed to promote bilateral trade, investment and financial cooperation, the bank said in a statement.

The People's Bank of China had already signed similar currency swap agreements with South Korea, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Belarus, Indonesia, Argentina, Iceland and Singapore since late 2008.

State media quoted analysts as saying the agreement with New Zealand would encourage more international trade settlements in the Chinese currency.
