Abstract generation in progress

HSBC Research has published a report saying that market concerns over Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (00388.HK) +4.600 (+1.209%) being shorted $116 million (short ratio 7.613%) may have largely been reflected in the share price already. The firm believes the actual impact on its operations will be limited.

The firm cites four key reasons to support the view that HKEX may outperform the broader market, including above-expected average daily trading volume and IPOs, rising income from the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect / Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect, progress in the fixed income and currency (FIC) ecosystem, and continued expansion of products and infrastructure amid an earlier backdrop of strengthened regulation.
