With U.S.-China trade tensions boiling up, the USD Index continued to weaken this morning (14th), sinking 0.48% to 99.625, prompting the HKD to hover near the Strong-side Convertibility Undertaking (CU) level of 7.75 to USD1, currently at 7.7571 to USD1.

If the HKD breaks above the Strong-side CU level against the USD, it would prompt intervention by the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA), with the last such action occurring four years ago.
