香港金管局再度干预汇市压低港元

The Hong Kong Monetary Authority was forced to step into the currency markets again yesterday as the Hong Kong dollar hit the limit of its trading band against its US counterpart.

香港金融管理局(HKMA)昨日被迫再度干预汇市，原因是港元兑美元汇率触及交易区间的上限。

The city’s de facto central bank has now intervened to the tune of US$2.6bn in the past week to weaken its currency, as money from around the world continues to pour into Asia.

香港实际上的央行在过去一周已投入大约26亿美元压低港元汇率。目前来自世界各地的资金继续涌入亚洲。

The strength of the Hong Kong dollar has coincided with a pick-up in Chinese growth indicators, and a rally in the Hong Kong stock market.

港元走强之际，中国经济指标出现起色，香港股市也出现一轮涨势。

Investor appetite for Asian assets has risen sharply since the Federal Reserve announced its latest round of quantitative easing in September, prompting currency appreciation in emerging markets across the region.

自美联储(Federal Reserve) 9月份宣布实行最新一轮量化宽松以来，投资者对亚洲资产的偏好大幅上升，推动该地区新兴市场货币升值。

The Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar at HK$7.80. The HKMA must take action if the currency hits the upper or lower end of its trading band of HK$7.75 to HK$7.85.
