Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEx) has experienced a reduction in trading volume, attributed in part to the ongoing protests in the region. Market participants are closely monitoring the situation, leading to a more cautious approach to trading.

The protests, which have been ongoing for several weeks, have created an environment of uncertainty that has affected investor sentiment. This has resulted in lower trading activity across various sectors.

Analysts suggest that the impact of the protests on HKEx’s trading volume is likely to persist until the political situation stabilizes. The exchange is closely monitoring the situation and assessing its potential long-term effects on market operations.

Key factors contributing to the lower trading volume include:

• Reduced investor confidence
• Increased market volatility
• Disruptions to business operations
