The Hong Kong dollar was steady at the top of its trading band against the US dollar on Thursday, despite a drop in the stock market. Dealers said inflows of funds would likely remain parked in the territory. The currency is pegged to the US dollar, which has fallen to a 15-month low against a basket of major currencies.
The Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) has injected a total of HK$104.24 billion into the city's banking system this month to defend the currency peg, lifting the aggregate balance - a measure of interbank liquidity - to HK$318.009 billion on Nov. 27.
