The fall in the dollar is the result of three factors: the easing of supply-side shocks to U.S. debt, weak economic data, and easing of speculative disturbances. Guojin Securities wrote in the report:

First, the supply-side shock to U.S. debt has eased. The US Treasury Department expects net debt issuance to fall to US$776 billion, US$76 billion less than its July estimate.

Third, China’s economic growth rate in the third quarter reached 4.9%. Although it is better than market expectations, the domestic economy will not recover strongly. This year’s growth rate will be difficult to rise above 5.5%, which cannot be sustained.RMBSubstantial appreciation.
