USD/HKD May Hit Weak Side of Hong Kong LERS' Trading Band Again -- Market Talk

0047 GMT - USD/HKD may again hit 7.85, weak side of the Hong Kong Linked Exchange Rate System's trading band, Commerzbank Research analysts say in a research report. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority this week defended the weak side of this band by buying HK$20.02 billion and selling US$2.55 billion at 7.85, the analysts note. This along with previous interventions have been spurred by HKD outflows as the U.S.-H.K. rate spread has widened since early May. The wide rate spread attracts carry trade by borrowing HKD and selling it against higher-yielding USD assets. "This means there is a good chance we will see USD-HKD hitting the weak-side at 7.85 again soon and HKMA may need to intervene further," they add. USD/HKD is steady around 7.8499.
