“The flood of Chinese money pouring into Hong Kong stocks has had a spillover effect: rescuing the city’s flagging yuan bond market. Southbound flows through the Shanghai-Hong Kong equities link exceeded those headed to the mainland by more than 30 billion yuan ($4.8 billion) this month, swelling the offshore supply of China’s currency. As banks in the former British colony take in more yuan, they’re reducing deposit rates, making Dim Sum debt yields more attractive to investors. Hong Kong’s Hang Seng Index has jumped 11.6 percent this month after China made it easier for mainland funds to use the cross-border link to buy stocks.”
