The U.S. Federal Reserve held interest rates steady on Wednesday and signalled it is still leaning towards eventual reductions in borrowing costs, but put a red flag on recent disappointing inflation readings that could delay the rate cuts."The high interest rate environment may last for some time," HKMA said in a statement, adding the Fed has not yet gained enough confidence about the U.S. inflation trajectory to start cutting interest rates.
Hong Kong's financial and monetary markets continue to operate in a smooth and orderly manner, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate remains stable while Hong Kong dollar interbank rates might remain high for some time, HKMA said.
