IS, the biggest part of the currency board's reserves are dollars, and the HK dollar is at a fixed rate to the U.S. dollar. the HK monetary authority MUST follow every move the Fed makes. otherwise the currency is attacked, driving overnight rates to the stratosphere.
now i know the HK market makes more extreme moves than WS, and is partly driven by local issues. but the directional relationship is definitely there.
