Hong Kong’s stock market is experiencing lighter trading volume as the Christmas and New Year holidays draw near. Many investors are closing out positions or taking vacation, leading to reduced activity on the exchange.

The slowdown is a common occurrence during the holiday season. Market participants often become less active as they focus on personal matters and year-end activities.

Analysts anticipate that trading volume will likely remain subdued until after the New Year holiday, when investors return to the market and resume normal trading patterns.
