China's yuan held a soft tone on Friday, but remained on track for its longest winning streak against the dollar in nearly 13 years buoyed by strong exports. By 0355 GMT, the yuan was 0.05% lower at 6.9396 to the dollar after trading in a range of 6.9390 to 6.9418. Its offshore counterpart traded at 6.9388 yuan per dollar, up about 0.05% in Asian trade. The yuan is now up 0.2% against the dollar this week, on track for its eleventh straight week of appreciation, the longest winning streak since early 2013. Analysts attributed the yuan's resilience to a slew of positive factors, including a weak dollar, robust exports and seasonal demand.
