Hong Kong Stock Markets

Hong Kong share prices: The Hang Seng Index jumped 12.5 percent in six trading days during early April as money from the mainland flooded into Hong Kong through the trading link between the two markets, according to Global Times China. Hong Kong-listed Chinese enterprises surged 18.1 percent in the period. That has triggered concern that the influence is moving in reverse toward a "mainlandification" of Hong Kong stock markets. Hong Kong share prices have sustained high levels since the launch of the stock connect, which has boosted turnover. Still, the perils may be exaggerated. The movement in the equity market has shocked some of Hong Kong local investors, who see a continuous rise in stock prices unsubstantiated by fundamental support. (news.financializer.com).
