The Hong Kong Monetary Authority said it maintains regular communication with authorised institutions on various issues, and would not comment on day-to-day regulatory work or speculative remarks. A HSBC spokesperson declined to comment on the report.
Hong Kong Monetary Authority Chief Executive Eddie Yue said short-term HKD interest rates are driven by the supply and demand for the Hong Kong dollar, and a reduction in demand for the currency may trigger the weak-side convertibility undertaking. He noted that Hong Kong stock turnover has fallen back from its mid-year high, the impact of earlier large-scale fundraising activities has faded, and periods of relatively strong funding demand such as quarter-end and dividend payments by listed companies have just passed, easing related demand for the Hong Kong dollar, which is the reason behind the weakening of the HKD exchange rate.

Hong Kong Monetary Authority Chief Executive Eddie Yue said the HK dollar has gradually weakened since mid-June to hover around 7.8460 to 7.8475, close to the 7.8500 weak-side convertibility undertaking, mainly because the widening Hong Kong-US interest rate gap has prompted carry trades and demand for HK dollars related to the stock market has fallen back. He said the automatic interest rate adjustment mechanism of the Linked Exchange Rate System will keep the HK dollar stable between 7.75 and 7.85 to 1 US dollar, and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority will closely monitor market conditions.
