A storm warning has been issued in Hong Kong, not expected to impact trading

Wait 5 sec.

In Hong Kong there are three levels of rain warnings: Amber, Red, and Black. The Amber alert signals the possibility of heavy rain that could intensify into more severe Red or Black conditions. During this stage, flooding may occur in low-lying or poorly drained areas, and key government agencies along with transport and utility services are placed on standby. The Red and Black warnings indicate heavy rainfall that is likely to cause significant road flooding and severe traffic disruption. These levels trigger full-scale response actions from relevant government departments and service providers. At this stage the Amber alert will not impact trading. Indeed, since 2024 Hong Kong’s securities and derivatives markets, including Stock Connect trading, derivatives holiday trading and after-hours trading session, will continue to operate according to the pre-determined trading calendar, regardless of severe weather conditions.
