Eddie Yue, Chief Executive of the HKMA: “Despite brief periods of heightened market volatility in March due to geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, global market sentiment staged a notable recovery in the second quarter as tensions moderated. For the first half of 2026 as a whole, the global financial markets performed well in general. Specifically, driven by artificial intelligence (A.I.)-related investment demand, the strong performance in the semiconductor and technology hardware sectors propelled the US and several major Asia-Pacific equity markets to new highs again. As for the bond market, the US Treasury yield curve generally shifted upward in the first half following market concerns over rising US inflation, which were triggered by surges in international oil prices and supply chain disruptions. Against this market backdrop, the Exchange Fund recorded an investment income of HK$134.7 billion in the first half of 2026. Despite losses on investments in Hong Kong equities due to the broad market decline, the Exchange Fund’s overall equity holdings achieved solid gains, driven by the strong performance in other equities. As for bond investments, US dollar bond yields remained at relatively high levels, continuing to provide steady interest income for the bond portfolio. Additionally, the Exchange Fund registered a positive currency translation effect on its non-Hong Kong dollar assets due to exchange rate movements. Looking ahead to the second half of the year, the global investment markets face multiple uncertainties. Following the marked increase in prices of A.I.-related assets, some market participants have begun to focus on whether major corrections will occur and affect the broader market. On monetary policy, the Federal Reserve’s policy path forward remains dependent on uncertainties around the inflation trends and labour market conditions in the US. In addition, with the Fed’s recent pivoting away from forward guidance, the financial markets may become more sensitive to incoming economic data, potentially amplifying market volatility. Should geopolitical tensions escalate again and disrupt global supply chains and energy prices, market concerns over the inflation and interest rate outlook may be deepened. Moreover, due to frequent fluctuations in exchange rates, the investment gains from the positive foreign currency translation effect in the first half of 2026 may not be sustained through the second half of the year. In the face of the complex and volatile investment environment, the HKMA will continue to adhere to the principle of capital preservation first while maintaining long-term growth. We will continue to manage the Exchange Fund with prudence and flexibility, implement appropriate defensive measures, and maintain a high degree of liquidity. We will also continue our investment diversification to strive for higher long-term returns, and ensure that the Exchange Fund remains effective in achieving its purpose of maintaining monetary and financial stability of Hong Kong.”
