|
|
|
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.

The Fed raised its benchmark rate by a quarter point at its latest meeting on Wednesday in the US, but HSBC and other major Hong Kong banks left their prime rates unchanged.
The decision should have no immediate impact on the local......

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.
