Currently, INR/HKD is trading close to its 90-day average and near recent highs. The pair remains supported by the stable HKD peg and cautious risk sentiment. Over the next few sessions, the pair may face pressure if global risk appetite remains subdued, keeping the pair consolidating within its recent range.
💸 Transfer implications

- Global factors: Geopolitical tensions continue to influence oil prices and INR, contributing to the pair's cautious outlook.
⚠️ What could change it
