Under the linked exchange rate system, Hong Kong dollar interbank rates generally approach the US dollar interest rates, while shorter-term interbank rates are simultaneously influenced by local market supply and demand for Hong Kong dollar funds. Hong Kong interest rates are likely to remain at a relatively high level for the foreseeable future.

According to the Zhitong Finance APP, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority announced that after two days of meetings, the Federal Reserve announced this morning Hong Kong time to maintain the federal funds rate target Range at 4.25-4.5%. In Hong Kong, the financial and monetary market operations remain smooth, market liquidity is stable, and the Hong Kong dollar Exchange Rates are stable. The Hong Kong interbank offered rate is generally approaching the US dollar interest rate under the peg system, while shorter-term interbank rates are simultaneously affected by local market supply and demand for Hong Kong dollar funds. It is expected that Hong Kong interest rates may remain at a relatively high level for a visible period of time.

The Federal Reserve's decision to maintain the interest rate was in line with market expectations. However, the pace of future interest rate cuts still has many variables, depending on the trends in US inflation and employment data, the effects of previous interest rate cuts, and the impact of the new government's fiscal and economic trade policies on economic activity.

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority reminds that Hong Kong interest rates may remain at a relatively high level for a visible period of time, while the magnitude and pace of future interest rate cuts in the USA have considerable uncertainty. Citizens should continue to carefully consider and manage interest rate risks when making decisions regarding property purchases, mortgages, or other borrowing. The Hong Kong Monetary Authority will continue to closely monitor market changes to maintain currency and financial stability.
