Announcement of the SEHK's Upcoming Launch of Weekly Stock Options by Late 2024
Release Date: 2024-05-08
May 8, 2024
In mid-April 2024, we publicly urged the Stock Exchange through various media outlets to consider the introduction of weekly stock options. Today, the Stock Exchange has officially revealed its intention to roll out a collection of weekly stock options, anticipated to be accessible to market participants by the end of 2024. We enthusiastically support this initiative, as we believe that the establishment of weekly stock options will not only create opportunities for major domestic and international financial institutions to serve as market makers but will also enhance the options market in Hong Kong. This development is expected to draw in more options investors, while stock investors may find increased motivation to engage in the market, thanks to the risk management benefits it provides. Ultimately, this will contribute to the robust growth of the entire market.
