Hong Kong Exchange Starts Consultation to Allow Trading on Stormy Days

Hong Kong’s stock market, notorious for shutting down on typhoon days, is moving toward allowing trades in bad weather.

Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing, the exchange operator, said on Thursday that it is taking feedback from the public until Jan. 26 on the proposal to let securities and derivatives trades continue as usual during severe weather conditions. Unlike other major exchanges, storms and heavy rains have closed down the Hong Kong market.
