USD/HKD shows how many Hong Kong dollars one US dollar buys, reflecting the linked exchange rate system between the US and Hong Kong SAR.
The curve shows the change in one unit of USD expressed in HKD. An upward slope means the base currency is strengthening relative to the quote currency; a downward slope indicates the opposite.

USD/HKD is the exchange rate between the US dollar (USD), the world's primary reserve currency, and the Hong Kong dollar (HKD), the currency of Hong Kong SAR. The pair is quoted as the number of HKD required to purchase one USD. An appreciation of the base currency (USD) means it buys more HKD, strengthening the US dollar relative to the Hong Kong dollar. This pair is widely used by international businesses, investors, and travelers dealing with trade and capital flows between the United States and Hong Kong.
The Hong Kong dollar has been pegged to the US dollar since 1983 under a linked exchange rate system, maintained by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA). The HKMA keeps the exchange rate within a narrow band of 7.75 to 7.85 HKD per USD. The US Federal Reserve sets monetary policy for the US dollar, while the HKMA follows suit to maintain the peg. Key drivers include interest rate differentials between the Fed and HKMA, inflation, economic growth, trade balances, tourism, capital flows, and risk sentiment in Asian markets. Hong Kong's status as a global financial hub also influences demand for HKD.
Over the past several years, USD/HKD has traded within the HKMA's narrow band, with the rate typically hovering near the strong-side or weak-side intervention points. The pair has remained stable due to the currency peg, with occasional pressure from capital flows or shifts in US monetary policy. The HKMA has consistently intervened to maintain the peg, buying or selling HKD as needed. This stability makes USD/HKD a low-volatility pair, primarily driven by macroeconomic factors affecting the US dollar and Hong Kong's financial conditions.
