Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

Dow, S&P 500, Nasdaq Slide as Nvidia Leads Tech Losses After PCE Inflation, Consumer Data
Summary:
Friday's data comes after signs of a resilient economy helped lift the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to new all-time highs on Thursday.
US stocks fell from record highs on Friday as Wall Street digested an update on consumer inflation that showed prices firming higher above the Fed's target in July.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) fell around 0.3%, and the S&P 500 (^GSPC) lost about 0.8%. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) led the retreat, down over 1.2%. Big Tech slumped, with Nvidia (NVDA) declining over 3% to end the week not long after releasing its highly anticipated earnings report.
A key Fed-watched measure of inflation rose as expected in July, new government data showed Friday. The "core" Personal Consumption Expenditures index, closely studied by the central bank, rose 0.3% on a monthly basis and 2.9% on an annual basis, above the Fed's 2% inflation target. Both numbers matched economist expectations, though the annual pace marked the biggest rise since February.
Meanwhile, US consumer sentiment declined to a three-month low as consumers in a University of Michigan survey suggested they expect inflation to surge over the next year.
Friday's data comes after signs of a resilient economy helped lift the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average to new all-time highs on Thursday.
Bets that the Fed will ease rates at its September meeting were still riding high Friday, and traders were pricing in an 87% chance of a quarter-point cut following the PCE reading.
The inflation data caps a whirlwind week for markets gripped by Nvidia earnings and President Trump's effort to oust Fed governor Lisa Cook, which took a new turn. On Friday, a judge is expected to rule on Cook's bid for a temporary restraining order.
Despite the pullback in stocks on Friday, the major indexes were set for their longest streak of consecutive monthly gains in more than a year.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite was on track to see a 2% bump in August, marking its fifth straight monthly rise, the longest winning streak in nearly a year and a half. For their part, the S&P 500 and the Dow were set for their fourth consecutive month of gains, on track to add 1.6% and 2%, respectively — the longest since September 2024.
And the Russell 2000 (^RUT), which includes small market capitalization companies, eyed a 6% jump for August, on course for its fourth monthly uptick, the longest streak in over four years.
