AUD/HKD has risen 10 percent since the start of 2020 and nearly 28 percent since the peak of the markets pandemic shock in March.
Australian dollar to Hong Kong dollar forecasts
In early 2021 AUD/HKD has hit it highest level (around 6.05) since June 2018. This is on the back of positive headlines that are boosting risk sentiment, prompting investment in equities and taking money away from the USD, to which the HK dollar is pegged.
In January the Hong Kong government reported unemployment was at its highest level for 16 years due to the impact of the pandemic, and suggested that this might worsen ahead of the Chinese New Year.
AUD/HKD forecasts are influenced by three factors; the coronavirus impact on and response by both economies, changes in the delta between interest rates in Australia and the US (as HKD is pegged to USD) and also the trade war between China and the US and increasingly Australia.
With the AUD continuing to enjoy higher highs and higher lows, our bias is for the AUD to enjoy further gains (against HKD) on the back of USD weakness.
