China's central bank set the yuan/dollar midpoint at 6.2692 on Monday, a vital psychological level and a two-month high.
Analysts say the move is a response to hopes that the Cyprus will avoid a banking crisis.
The mid-point has closely tracked the currency's movement in recent weeks. Spot yuan touched 6.2095 per dollar in early trade Monday, a 19 year high.
