Bank of China Ltd., one of the country’s four major state-owned banks, has opened trading in the Chinese currency to customers in the U.S., representing a symbolic endorsement by Beijing of foreign trading in the yuan. The move is the first by a state-owned bank into yuan trading in the U.S. Trading in the yuan has ballooned since China first opened it up to offshore trading last July.
