Currencies Hong Kong Dollar Nears Weak End on Low Volatility, Cheap Rates The Hong Kong dollar is heading toward the weak end of its fixed trading range as multi-year low volatility and cheap borrowing costs make it easier for traders to short the currency against the greenback. One-year dollar/Hong Kong dollar implied volatility has dropped to its lowest since January 2022, according to data compiled by Bloomberg, partly due to a lack of rush for US dollars in the city at the start of the Iran war.
