What Hong Kong should do to prepare for a market that never sleeps
Longer trading hours may become a global trend as more market operators embrace the idea in the coming months, as the London and Hong Kong exchanges attempt to gain first-mover advantage. The London Stock Exchange Group is reported to be studying the merits of 24-hour trading, while Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) is preparing a new trading system that can support round-the-clock trading in financial derivatives. The cryptocurrency market has achieved that. Here is some background and likely steps for Hong Kong to become a financial market that never sleeps. Are there any stock markets that trade 24 hours a day? No. The Frankfurt Stock Exchange is open for trading for 14 hours from 8am to 10pm. CBOE Global Markets, the world's biggest options trading market, operates 24 hours a day, five days a week. Hong Kong's stock market runs for 5½ hours per day, while investors can trade derivatives for 15½ hours. What needs to be done to get there?

Should Hong Kong follow if London opts for 24-hour stock trading? City brokers are divided
A media report overt the weekend saying the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) is considering 24-hour trading has raised questions about whether Hong Kong's bourse could similarly lengthen its transaction hours to cater to a younger generation of trade-anytime investors. The Orion Derivatives Platform (ODP), developed by Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) for roll-out in 2028, would give Asia's third-largest capital market the capability to 'offer near 24-hour derivatives trading, introduce new products and provide enhanced efficiency,' the HKEX said in April last year. The exchange has not disclosed any plans to change its trading hours, which currently run for 5.5 hours every weekday from 9.30am to 4.00pm, with a one-hour lunch break in between. That put Hong Kong in the middle among global markets: 4 hours in Shanghai and Shenzhen, 5 hours in Tokyo, 6.5 hours in the US and Canada, 8.5 hours in London, and 14 hours in Frankfurt. 'If HKEX expands its trading hours, it would help [boost] the market turnover and attract international investors,' said Kenny Ng Lai-yin, a strategist at Everbright Securities International. 'But there will be a lot of investments needed by the exchange and the brokerage industry, [so] it needs a balance on whether to extend the trading window to 24 hours.' The final day of floor trading on the Hong Kong stock was on October 27, 2017. Trading thereafter was done entirely digitally via scripless dealing. Photo: Edward Wong HKEX declined to comment. The LSEG was weighing its options on whether to introduce 24-hour trading to meet growing demand from small investors, the Financial Times reported on Sunday, citing unidentified sources. LSEG declined to comment when asked by the Post.

HKEX success in putting women on boards a boon to Hong Kong
Inclusion and fairness are fundamental human values, yet many societies struggle to strike a balance between removing barriers and holding everyone to high performance standards. One recent example is the controversial US rollback of diversity, equity and inclusion rules . So, it was encouraging to see Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) claim success in its push to eliminate all-male boards from companies listed on the region's third-largest bourse. HKEX said fewer than 10 of Hong Kong's roughly 2,600 listed companies had all-male boards as of the end of June. The exceptions were firms suspended from trading or temporarily out of compliance because of a resignation. At the start of the year, when an HKEX ban on single-gender boards went into effect, there were still 85 companies with all-male boards. When the policy was announced in 2022, more than 800 firms – or 40 per cent of listed companies – had no female directors. More than 21 per cent of the directors today are women. While that lags behind the global average of 27 per cent of board seats held by women as of 2024, the city is in good company with a sizeable number of markets around the world now using mandates and deadlines to push for change. The shift seems good for business. Hong Kong's Financial Services Development Council called it 'confidence-building' for investors to see HKEX taking firm steps. The move was credited with the main board's return to global leadership in initial public offerings. Katherine Ng, head of listing at HKEX, said the requirement had 'enhanced governance in our markets'. Bonnie Chan Yiting, HKEX's first female chief executive officer, said diversity 'brings more ideas, more perspectives into boardroom discussions'.
