NEW YORK, Dec. 27, 2025, 8:30 a.m. ET — Market closed Hong Kong Stock Exchange trading is paused for the weekend, but the story around HKEX is anything but asleep. With year-end positioning underway and global markets toggling between “Santa rally” optimism and “China macro reality check” caution, investors are lining up the next catalysts that could shape Hong Kong equities when the cash market reopens on Monday, Dec. 29. HKEX’s own holiday arrangements underscore how “closed” doesn’t always mean “inactive”: Hong Kong’s cash markets were shut on Dec. 25 and Dec. 26, while select derivatives—especially MSCI and currency products—remained
