The Hong Kong Monetary Authority sold its currency for the fifth time in two weeks to keep the peg to the greenback. The central bank added $350 million to the banking system yesterday following a $603 million intervention on October 19, as the Hong Kong Dollar touched the upper limit of the trading band. Hong Kong's currency traded at HK$7.7501 against the U.S. Dollar today.
