Understanding the pair
In USD/HKD the US Dollar is the base currency and the Hong Kong Dollar is the quote currency. The rate tells you how many HKD one USD buys, so a rising USD/HKD means the US Dollar is strengthening against the Hong Kong Dollar.
USD/HKD is an exotic pair: it combines a major currency with that of a smaller or emerging economy, so spreads, swap costs and the size of sudden moves are typically larger than for the majors.
Prices are quoted to 5 decimal places here. One pip is 0.0001, so on a standard lot of 100,000 USD a one-pip move is worth 10 HKD — use the pip calculator to convert that into your account currency.
Liquidity in USD/HKD is usually deepest when both home markets are open — the New York (08:00–17:00 New York time) and Tokyo (09:00–18:00 Tokyo time) sessions. See live session times on the market hours clock.
The world's main reserve and invoicing currency. The BIS 2022 Triennial Survey found the dollar on one side of about 88% of all FX trades, so US interest-rate expectations and risk sentiment ripple through almost every pair.
Central bank: Federal Reserve
Pegged to the US dollar under the Linked Exchange Rate System, which keeps USD/HKD within a 7.75–7.85 band. Moves are therefore small and mostly reflect interest-rate differentials within the band.
Central bank: Hong Kong Monetary Authority
USD/HKD shows how many Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) one US Dollar (USD) buys. USD is the base currency and HKD is the quote currency. If the rate rises, the US Dollar has strengthened against the Hong Kong Dollar.
No. It is derived from the euro foreign exchange reference rates published by the European Central Bank once per working day around 16:00 CET. It is useful for reference, budgeting and calculator inputs, but it is not an executable trading quote — a broker's bid and ask will differ.
By convention one pip in USD/HKD is 0.0001 because the pair is quoted in HKD. On a standard lot of 100,000 USD, a one-pip move is worth 10 HKD. Brokers may quote an extra decimal (a pipette).
Liquidity is typically deepest when both home markets are open: the New York (08:00–17:00 New York time) and Tokyo (09:00–18:00 Tokyo time) sessions, and especially where they overlap.
