- Risk/commodities: Risk sentiment remains neutral, with no significant risk-off or risk-on signals impacting FX.
- Global factors: Hong Kong’s fiscal surplus and bond issuance support macro stability and the peg.
⚠️ What could change it
- Upside risk: A shift in risk sentiment toward risk-on could support HKD/THB if global risk appetite improves.
- Downside risk: A significant move in global risk aversion might pressure the pair if safe haven flows strengthen.
