US President Trump: Americans are paying higher gasoline prices, but its a "very cheap price" relative to what the US has achieved.On September 17, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) announced a 25 basis point increase in its benchmark interest rate to 4.25%. This is the first adjustment to the benchmark interest rate by the HKMA since 2023, ending a period of interest rate stability. This rate hike is a direct response to the Federal Reserves policy change on the same day. The HKMA stated explicitly that following the Feds policy is to maintain the Hong Kong dollars peg to the US dollar. Under this system, the Hong Kong dollar is pegged to the US dollar, and Hong Kongs monetary policy must be linked to the US to ensure exchange rate stability. Despite the increase in the benchmark interest rate, the market remains cautious about the actual changes in local credit costs in Hong Kong. As is customary, major Hong Kong banks typically announce their own interest rate adjustment plans later that day after the HKMAs adjustment, with changes to the prime lending rate being particularly crucial.Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv, Ukraine, in the early hours of September 17 local time.US President Trump: (Regarding Iran) I predict the war will end soon, and the government has transformed the United States from a “dark age” to a “golden age.”September 17th - US President Trump: "That war?
