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.

Nasdaq Secures Record Close as Investors Shake off Tariff Threats, Eye Key Inflation Data
Summary:
Officials from the EU and Mexico are pushing to continue negotiations with the US in hopes of securing a lower rate via a new deal.
US stocks rose on Monday with the Nasdaq (^IXIC) closing at a fresh record as Wall Street ultimately shrugged off renewed trade tensions and looked ahead to a key inflation report and the first wave of second quarter earnings.
The S&P 500 (^GSPC) and Dow Jones Industrial Average (^DJI) finished the mostly muted trading day up around 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively. The tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite (^IXIC) added around 0.3% to secure yet another all-time closing high.
Meanwhile, bitcoin (BTC-USD) spiked above $123,000 for the first time as investors greeted the open of Congress's "Crypto Week," but the asset dropped back below $120,000 later in the day. Stocks with crypto ties also rallied as the House of Representatives weighs three key pieces of crypto-related legislation.
Earlier in the day, investors showed a diminished appetite for risk after President Trump said Saturday that the US will impose 30% tariffs on goods from the EU and Mexico from Aug. 1. The increased pressure on key US trading partners is testing the market's previous resilience in the face of escalating tariff tensions. Faith in the idea that Trump will back off from threatened hikes helped lift stocks to all-time highs last week.
Officials from the EU and Mexico are pushing to continue negotiations with the US in hopes of securing a lower rate via a new deal. The hiked tariffs as they stand are seen as likely to remake global trade relations and add to existing inflationary pressures.
That adds uncertainty ahead of consumer inflation data scheduled for release this week. Investors are looking to the June CPI report on Tuesday for signs of how earlier rounds of tariffs are impacting prices across the US economy. The reading will feed into expectations for the Fed's decision on interest rates due in just over two weeks.
Meanwhile, Trump ratcheted up tensions with Russia over the war in Ukraine on Monday, threatening to impose "secondary" tariffs of up to 100% on the country. He also said the US would provide weapons to Ukraine.
Earnings season kicks into swing this week, with all the major US banks due to report results starting on Tuesday. Investors are showing interest in IPO and M&A markets, while Wells Fargo (WFC) reports after being freed from a decade of stringent regulatory restrictions.
