HKD breaching 1.50 support by year-end - My take
Been watching $HKD for a while now, and the recent movements have me thinking about where it's headed. That 1.50 support level feels pretty crucial. I'm putting the odds at about 60% that we see it breach 1.50 by year-end. The capital flight pressures aren't letting up, and while the HKMA has its tools, the underlying sentiment seems to be getting weaker.
It's not a guaranteed short, obviously, but the trend line and the macro headwinds suggest a tougher road ahead for the peg. If it does crack, the implications for offshore accounts and related instruments would be significant. Just my two cents, not a recommendation, do your own due diligence.

Interesting take on HKD. I'm curious about what specific indicators you're watching that are pointing to continued capital flight, beyond just the general sentiment. Are there particular data points that have strengthened your conviction for a breach by year-end?
