HKEX Reports Listing Developments as Hang Seng Closes Lower

In an original post on September 29, HKEX said it welcomed six newly listed products that day. A separate original post said the Hong Kong SAR Government had issued digitally native green bonds in multiple tranches and currencies, with listing expected on September 30. Meanwhile, the Hang Seng Index closed September 29 down 0.48%. The listing developments and index performance are observations at different levels; the available evidence is insufficient to establish a causal link.
