Just a little question: shouldn't it be "faring"?

YoungCalifornian · Answer

Yes Pieanne, you are correct.  I didn't catch that.

Nyarlathotep · Answer

salut_yu, you could say

"How is the CNY doing today?"

or

"How does the CNY look today?

They both would be interpreted to mean "what are the state of things regarding the CNY today?", but I'm unsure as to an official 'way' of describing the state of currency.
