Wall Street piles into Hong Kong′s dim sum bonds despite fading yuan funding edge: BofA (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong's offshore yuan bond market is becoming an increasingly important funding source for global banks, with US lenders driving a surge in issuance even as the currency's traditional funding advantage over the dollar narrows.
The shift offers a glimpse of how financial ties between Wall Street and China are evolving despite geopolitical tensions. For US banks, the attraction increasingly lies in access to Chinese capital rather than lower borrowing costs.

|

Looming interest rate rises will not hit Hong Kong as hard as 2022: analysts (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong looks set to be hit by a wave of interest rate rises in the coming months, but the city's property market is unlikely to suffer the same level of damage as during the last rate cycle in 2022-2023, according to analysts.
Though major Hong Kong banks have so far held rates steady despite the US Federal Reserve raising its benchmark rate earlier this month, they are widely expected to increase them if the Fed follows through with further tightening later this year.

Buyers snap up new Hong Kong flats ahead of likely interest rate rises (SCMP)
