|
|
|
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority, the city's de facto central bank, probably anticipated the rise in US interest rates last week. However, it is unlikely it foresaw the extent to which the Federal Reserve shifted in a hawkish direction.
Even Fed watchers were surprised by the unanimous vote to increase borrowing costs and the unambiguous signal that the central bank plans to raise interest rates further in the coming months.

Can Hong Kong outshine Singapore as central banks rethink gold custody amid global risks? (SCMP)
|
|
|
As the Netherlands moved gold out of the US and Canada over geopolitical concerns, attention is turning to whether Hong Kong can capitalise on central banks rethinking where they keep their bullion.
The city faces competition from Singapore, which is expected to launch central bank gold-vaulting services in October as part of efforts to cement its status as a gold trading hub in Asia.
Where central banks chose to store gold came down to three factors, said Iggy Ioppe, a Wall Street veteran with......

Hong Kong stocks hunker down for a day packed with Fed decision, jumbo IPO debut (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong stocks are gearing up for an eventful day on Thursday, when both a rate decision by the US Federal Reserve and a debut of the city's largest initial public offering (IPO) in seven years coincide to test investors' risk appetite.
An unexpected increase in the US borrowing costs, or even a hawkish tone from new US Fed chairman Kevin Warsh, risks derailing a fragile rebound in Hong Kong stocks, which was aided by a rotation out of high-priced artificial intelligence (AI) bets in......

Half-year Hong Kong stocks report card: shares drop 11% on Fed pivot, lack of AI play (SCMP)
|
|
|
Hong Kong stocks closed out the first half with a loss, ranking the city's market among the worst performers globally, as a shift by the Federal Reserve and a dearth of pure exposure to artificial intelligence put investors on tenterhooks.
