香港金管局：美联储维持息率不变的决定符合市场预期

Core Viewpoint - The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) responded to the Federal Reserve's decision to maintain interest rates, which aligns with market expectations. The current interest rate differential between Hong Kong and the U.S. remains attractive for carry trades, keeping the Hong Kong dollar close to the 7.85 level [1] Group 1 - The demand for Hong Kong dollar liquidity related to stocks has been strong, providing support for the currency [1] - Future movements in the Hong Kong dollar will depend on changes in liquidity supply and demand, as well as uncertainties such as U.S. monetary policy, interest rate trends, stock market sentiment, and global capital flows [1] - The weak-side convertibility guarantee may be triggered again, leading the HKMA to buy Hong Kong dollars and sell U.S. dollars, which would decrease the banking system's surplus and gradually increase Hong Kong dollar interbank rates [1] Group 2 - There is significant uncertainty regarding the future pace and extent of U.S. interest rate cuts, which may also affect Hong Kong's interest rate environment [1] - The HKMA will continue to closely monitor market changes to maintain monetary and financial stability [1]
