HKD Carry Trades May Persist, Leading to Forex Interventions by HKMA -- Market Talk

Dow Jones

Jun 26

0643 GMT - HKD carry trades versus USD may persist, pushing USD/HKD higher to 7.8500 and leading to repeated HKD-buying intervention by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, analysts say. Despite such an intervention by the HKMA recently, the initial rebound in Hong Kong interbank offered rates and front-end HKD rates could be limited as the aggregate balance stays abundant, two members of OCBC's Global Markets Research say in a note. "If HKD rates do not go up much, that means that carry trades will continue to be put on with still deeply negative HKD-USD rate differentials," they say. Hong Kong's Linked Exchange Rate System ensures HKD remains stable within the 7.75-7.85 band versus the U.S. dollar. USD/HKD is little changed at 7.8495. (ronnie.harui@wsj.com)
