HKD/USD 0.1275

The HKD remains near its 90-day lows against the USD, trading around 0.1275, close to its three-month average. Despite this slight dip, the currency has held within a narrow 0.2% range from 0.1275 to 0.1277, reflecting stability under the current peg system with the USD. This stability is supported by Hong Kong's recent economic outlook, including a fiscal surplus and firm monetary policy alignment with the U.S. Federal Reserve, which maintained its rate at 4% in January.

Meanwhile, the HKD has also seen minimal movement against other major currencies. It trades near recent lows against the EUR and GBP, with the HKD/EUR around 0.1103 and HKD/GBP close to 0.094475, both in line with their recent ranges. Against the JPY, the HKD is at about 20.12, slightly below its three-month average, indicating limited volatility.

Overall, the HKD's performance continues to reflect the stability of Hong Kong’s macro outlook and its strong linkage to the USD. As long as US interest rates remain steady and geopolitical developments stay contained, the HKD is expected to stay within its current trading range through the coming months.
