Hong Kong Dollar Strong-Side Convertibility Undertaking Reappears: Analysis of Capital Logic and Beneficiary Paths for Hong Kong Stocks
In May 2025, the Hong Kong dollar (HKD) exchange rate against the US dollar (USD) touched the strong-side convertibility undertaking of 7.75 for the first time in nearly five years, triggering intervention by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) to sell HKD and buy USD. This action injected substantial HKD liquidity into the market, leading to a significant increase in the banking system's aggregate balance and a notable decrease in the Hong Kong Interbank Offered Rate (HIBOR). This phenomenon was primarily driven by active capital market activities, demand for Hong Kong stock investments (such as IPOs and southbound funds via Stock Connect), and dividend payouts by listed companies. Although the subsequent widening of the HKD-USD interest rate differential led to carry trades, causing the HKD to weaken and trigger the weak-side convertibility undertaking, the market generally believes that capital inflows are positive for Hong Kong stock liquidity, providing favorable funding conditions for Hong Kong stocks.
