The Zhitong Finance App learned that Hong Kong Securities Regulatory Commission Chief Executive Leung Fung-yee revealed that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange (00388) will seek opinions from various stakeholders on the feasibility of extending stock market trading hours, and related consulting work is expected to commence in the near future.

Leung Fung-yee said that the arrangement aims to further optimize the operating efficiency of the Hong Kong stock market and enhance the market's international competitiveness. The Hong Kong Stock Exchange will study the feasibility and specific arrangements for extending trading hours by consulting market participants and other stakeholders.

Market participants are concerned that if the Hong Kong stock trading period is further extended in the future, it will help strengthen the trading links between the Hong Kong market and other major international financial markets and provide investors in different regions with more flexible trading arrangements. However, the specific implementation plan still needs to be determined depending on the results of the market consultation and related supporting arrangements.
