What is the Hong Kong 50?
Launched in 1969, the Hong Kong 50 (HK50) tracks the 50 largest companies listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. It is maintained by a subsidiary of Hang Seng Bank. HK50 CFD trading is available Monday to Friday. But remember, before trading, it's important to consider the various factors that can influence the index’s performance:
Economic news
Inflation and interest rates usually move inversely to index prices. Higher inflation and interest rates often indicate economic uncertainty, while lower interest rates and inflation support index growth. Keep an eye on our economic calendar to stay up to date.
Geopolitical events
As with most indices, geopolitical instability can impact HK50 trading. Things like trade tariffs/deals, sanctions, and general political unrest can all impact Hong Kong 50 trading. You can keep track of market news through the Exness Trade app or Personal Area.
Other events
Anything that impacts production yields, supply chains, and profits can affect HK50 price fluctuations. If the tech or financial sectors experience a boost due to relaxed sanctions, company shares may increase, bumping up the index value. If there are lockdowns or blockades, on the other hand, indices may suffer.
