FAQ

What are Hong Kong stock market trading hours?⌄
The regular session runs 09:30–12:00 and 13:00–16:00 Hong Kong time (UTC+8), 5.5 hours in total. The opening auction is 09:00–09:30 and the closing auction is 16:00–16:10.
Is the Hong Kong lunch break the same as in mainland A-shares?⌄
No. Hong Kong’s midday break is 12:00–13:00 (1 hour), while mainland A-shares break 11:30–13:00 (1.5 hours). Hong Kong’s afternoon session resumes at 13:00, half an hour earlier in the afternoon than A-shares.
Does Hong Kong close for Christmas and Boxing Day?⌄
Yes. The market is closed all day on December 25 (Christmas) and December 26 (Boxing Day); Christmas Eve (December 24) is a half-day when it falls on a weekday.
Does Hong Kong close for the same number of Chinese New Year days as the mainland?⌄
Not exactly. Hong Kong usually closes for 3 days at Lunar New Year (1st–3rd days, deferred if they fall on a weekend), fewer than the mainland’s 7. The Hong Kong market may trade normally on some days when the mainland is on holiday.
Why aren’t Hong Kong and mainland holidays fully aligned?⌄
Hong Kong follows its own General Holidays Ordinance, while the mainland follows the national holiday arrangement. Both observe the major traditional festivals (Chinese New Year, Qingming, Mid-Autumn, National Day) but for different numbers of days, and Hong Kong also observes Western holidays (Christmas, Easter) that the mainland does not.
