《大行報告》匯豐研究:市場憂英通脹高企及經濟前景弱 令英鎊兌美元匯價跌至低點
英經濟形勢嚴峻,英鎊兌美元跌至1985年以來新低,現跌0.3%至1.1475美元。英鎊兌港元亦曾跌穿9算,現報1英鎊兌9.0071港元。
匯豐環球研究近日發表全球8月外匯市場報告指,英國正面臨高通脹及經濟活動弱,對英國經濟前景的擔憂,英倫銀行行長貝利(Andrew Bailey)早前表示對利率前景爲沒有預先設定,8月議息期間考慮了所有選項,並在8月4日如預期加息50個基點,是自1995年以來最大的一次加息,而英鎊兌美元匯價在8月累計貶值4.5%。
該行指,市場關注英國經濟狀況,相關擔憂令英鎊兌美元匯價跌至年度低點。事實上,英國利率上漲似乎是對2023年通脹擔憂加劇以及對實際收入下降的擔憂的反應,特別是美聯儲局主席鮑威爾早前在全球央行年會演講上發表「鷹派」言論後,美元在8月底走強,令英鎊進一步下跌。(wl/u)
