PANews August 21 news, according to the Daily Economic News, at the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's mid-2025 performance meeting, some market participants suggested extending trading hours. The response from CEO Charles Li was misunderstood by some market participants as "the Hong Kong Stock Exchange is studying a 24-hour trading mechanism." On August 21, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange learned that Charles Li stated that the Exchange has always been committed to providing more convenience for investors and is open to all relevant suggestions. However, because extending trading hours has a significant impact on the overall market, it poses considerable challenges and requires great caution, as well as the need to solicit opinions from all market participants. For example, in case of an error, there are still a few hours available to rectify the issue. If trading is continuous for 24 hours, there will be no room for correction.
