Trump's Policies Cause Turbulence for Hong Kong Dollar

The Hong Kong dollar, which is usually steady against the U.S. dollar, is experiencing unusual ups and downs due to actions by the U.S. and global investors.

This has caused interest rates in Hong Kong to change, moving away from the U.S. rates.

This change worries investors and businesses because it can be risky.

However, lower interest rates can also help the economy, for example in the property market, and the government has taken advantage of it to borrow money at lower rates.

Hong Kong officials have stated the peg will remain.
