USD/HKD has been under pressure and last trades at HKD7.8034, down 70 pips on the session, with a sharp retreat in USD/CNH aiding the move to session lows (HKD7.7982). USD/HKD probed the water below the mid-point of its HKD7.75-7.85 trading band for the first time since February, before moving away from intraday lows.
- Both offshore yuan and the HK dollar are benefitting from hopes that China could relax its tight COVID-19 controls earlier. China's efforts to boost vaccinations have aided sentiment on that front.
- 3-Month HIBOR refreshed two-decade highs today and now sits at 5.31%. The rate surpassed 3-Month LIBOR for the first time since mid-2020 last month. It has been increasing the distance from its U.S. counterpart since.
- During a briefing to lawmakers, HKMA chief Eddie Yue reiterated that there is no plan or need to tweak the existing dollar peg system.
