2-WEEK HIBOR DOWN 20 BPS TO 1-YEAR LOW OF 3.43381%
SINGAPORE, Sept 12 (Reuters) -Hong Kong interbank rates fell to more than one-year lows on Thursday ahead of expected U.S. interest rate cuts and in a sign that the Asian financial hub is awash with cash.
Overnight HIBOR HIHKDOND= fell 13 basis points to its lowest since April at 2.79857% while rates at tenors from two months to six months hit their lowest since May 2023. One-year HIBOR HIHKD1YD= made a two-year low of 4.11643%. HIBOR=
Hong Kong rates are tethered to the U.S. via the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the greenback, but also reflect domestic cash conditions which have been flush as investors find few opportunities in a stock market that lags global peers.
The Hong Kong dollar HKD=D3 was steady around the middle of its trading band at 7.7987.
