一大傳聞引發港元緊張
港元市場近期也突然巨震。5月11日，隔夜香港銀行同業拆息利率（HIBOR）上升36.8基點，至4.80607%，創下2007年以來的最高水平。而一個月港元拆息也連升16日，當天上漲37.19基點，至4.52952%。港元兌美元連續飆升兩天之後，再度轉跌。
那麼，究竟又發生了什麼事使港元突然緊張？
據香港經濟日報消息，市場傳聞稱，兩家發鈔行近日向同業拆借大額短期港元。11日再傳出，事緣是有基金擬搬總部到新加坡，有資金轉往一家本地有網點的新資銀行，匯款需要一定時間，令兩家發鈔行近日要向同業借錢，致港匯緊張而轉強。傳聞稱金管局已致電上述新加坡的有關銀行了解。
金管局方面表示，港元拆息亦受市場港元資金供求影響。港元市場保持運作暢順，該局通過日常的市場監察工作，並未發現有異常的活動，香港銀行體系存款總額保持平穩，5月份數據將一如既往於6月底公佈。發言人稱，在聯匯制度下，港元拆息趨近美元拆息，亦會受市場港元資金供求的影響，隨着較早前有資金流出港元體系觸發弱方兌換保證，銀行體系總結餘相應回落至目前440多億港元水平，聯匯制度下的利率自動調節機制發揮作用，港元拆息逐步向上，港元匯率亦稍走強，穩定於兌換區間之內。此調節過程完全符合聯匯制度設計及預期。
$大新銀行集團(02356.HK)$總經理兼零售銀行處副主管鄧子健表示，近日銀行結存或較之前少了一些，令波動性增加而致拆息上升，不知是否會再有短暫性的大幅波動。他指出，整體港元拆息近日轉強，可能是資金需求所帶動，或者可能有融資計劃，如果港元拆息持續再升，私人貸款市場資金成本料增加，私貸市場無可避免要加息。
