During Friday’s trading session AUD/HKD traded within the range of 7.2371-7.2684 and closed at 7.2592.

At 8:07 GMT today AUD/HKD was losing 0.11% for the day to trade at 7.2512. The pair touched a daily low at 7.2445 at 5:35 GMT.

Fundamental view

The jobless rate in Hong Kong probably remained unchanged at 3.1% in April, matching the 3.1% reading in the previous month. The jobless rate in the country averaged 3.75% from 1981 until 2014, marking an all time high of 8.5% in June 2003 and a record low of 1% in July 1989.

The unemployment rate is compiled, based on data obtained from a monthly General Household Survey. The workforce is defined as the land-based non-institutional population aged 15 and over. On the other hand, the unemployed people should fulfill the following conditions: haven’t worked for pay or profit in the 7 days before enumeration; haven’t had the ability to work in the 7 days before enumeration; have actively sought work 30 days before enumeration.

The Hong Kong unemployment rate will be reported by the nation’s Census and Statistics Department at 8:30 GMT. In case the jobless rate is lower-than-expected, this would heighten the appeal of the Hong Kong dollar.
