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.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.

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.
