Hong kong dollar (HKD) foreign exchange trading has seen a significant increase in activity this year, prompting traders to reiterate the risks associated with pricing and trading derivatives tied to pegged currencies.
The heightened trading volume underscores the HKDS importance as an options market for investors, hedge funds, and corporations alike. “Of course, the Hong Kong dollar market is a huge options market for the investor community, for hedge funds, like us, and for corporates,” said Vineet Agarwal, a portfolio manager at Astignes Capital.
