HK composite interest rate reaches 0.41%

It's because of funding costs.

Compared to the 3.00% level at the start of the year, current 10-year UST yields are still 28bps lower.

Here's more from Barclays:

Locally, the Hong Kong composite interest rate rose 4bps from 0.37% at end of February to 0.41% at the end of March 2014.
