Merge proposal: Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing

I'd like to suggest the article Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing to be merged to this one...

Although Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing and Hong Kong Stock Exchange are two different parties in strict terms (the latter as the market for stock trading, the former as the company operating the latter), we'd usually refer both of them as the same thing.
The information in the article Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing mostly coincides with that in this article (e.g. history, structure, trading hours), and even though some parts of it (e.g. market figures) do not, I think that they are mostly relevant to and can be included in this article.
The information in the article Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing says, "Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited ... is the holding company for The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited (SEHK), Hong Kong Futures Exchange Limited (HKFE) and Hong Kong Securities Clearing Company Limited." This piece of information is somehow expired, because it is not the HOLDER of those 3 companies, but the RESULT OF A MERGER of them. You may try to google these 3 companies, and all results are redirecting to the same site.
Some of you may rather support merging this article to Hong Kong Exchange and Clearing (merging in counter direction). This can be ok, but according to Wikipedia's naming policy, I'd rather prefer using "Hong Kong Stock Exchange", a name more commonly known and called, as the title.

Any opinions?

-- supernorton 11:34, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am glad someone has an opinion about it. I thought about this awhile back too, but wasn't sure if the changes were really necessary. If I had to propose a series of changes so that this page is up-to-date, it would be...

1. move this page to "The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong"

2. make sure "Hong Kong Stock Exchange" point to #1

3. link "HK Exchanges and Clearing" to #1

4. add Growth Enterprise Market into #1.

5. use HKEX 033 as the official ticker symbol.

6. change SEHK to the abbreviation.

Benjwong 19:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is definitely a bad idea, as their are separate stock and futures exchange, and a holding company, all of which should be categorised separately. Greg Grahame 20:13, 25 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose - Though related, they are two different entities. Hong Qi Gong (Talk - Contribs) 03:09, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Trading differences between HK and NYSE/NASDAQ

I have added a section on trading differences between HK and North American exchanges, namely: morning and afternoon sessions; individual board lot sizes for each stock; close-in-price rule for limit orders (24-tick rule). These should be familiar to anyone who trades in HK, so references may be superfluous, but one example is HSBC's FAQ page. -- P.T. Aufrette (talk) 04:30, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia isn't supposed to be USA-centric; if we have a section like this, will we have sections on differences with London, Frankfurt, Tokyo etc? Surely better to have a more general section describing characteristics of HKEX, perhaps mentioning any marked distinctions between HKEX and other major world stock exchanges.119.142.152.49 (talk) 03:23, 5 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the point of having board lots?

And what's the difference of having to find buyers for 3 shares or for 3 lots, if the smallest tradeable unit is a lot and not a share? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.218.77.127 (talk) 09:54, 7 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There is no "Hong Kong Stock Exchange"

See http://www.hkex.com.hk/eng/exchange/corpinfo/profile.htm It's the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong, which is a unit of Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing, (HKEx) 180.87.27.226 (talk) 02:06, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You are technically right. However this is how most people (even on FT and cnbc) tend to refer to it. Ditto in Hkg too! perhaps it may be a good idea to make a new page "Stock exchange of Hong Kong" and redirect it to this page? Do let me know your opinion nd I wil lmake the same.

Hong Kong Stock Exchange → The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong – The official name was "The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited" (where the abb. SEHK came from), by MoS, no legal suffix is required. While Hong Kong Stock Exchange was both the common name AND the legal name of the old Hong Kong Stock Exchange, that was ONE of the stock exchange that merged to "The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited" in 1986. HKEX was actually refer to current parent company Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing. Matthew_hk t c 18:18, 2 October 2017 (UTC) --Relisting. DrStrauss talk 21:09, 11 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose as proposed per WP:THE. Stock Exchange of Hong Kong might be acceptable, depending on a WP:COMMONNAME analysis, which the nominator has not presented. It may also depend on article scope; nom indicates that the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong are not actually the same entity. — SMcCandlish ☏ ¢ >^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ< 01:52, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

SEHK was the abb., but full name should be used, i.e. Stock Exchange of Hong Kong . the trend was similar but can't isolate the effect of Wikipedia namespace. Reuters.com use both interchanably including not capitalized Hong Kong stock exchange. The other stock exchange were all used official name Borsa Italiana, Shenzhen Stock Exchange (SZSE), Shanghai Stock Exchange (SSE). Matthew_hk t c 06:12, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, "The" should be used, as before the merger in 1986, it had Hong Kong Stock Exchange Limited for English speaking people, Far East Exchange, Kowloon Stock Exchange and Kam Ngn Stock Exchange. Without the, stock exchange(s) of Hong Kong did have different meaning. Matthew_hk t c 06:16, 3 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose. The common name is the current title, although it's possible it shoudl be downcased to Hong Kong stock exchange, as sources are mixed on whether they treat it as a proper name or not. — Amakuru (talk) 13:13, 10 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Closing Auction Session

The article suggests that there is currently no Closing Auction Session at the exchange. But there is one; see as reference the following link: https://www.hkex.com.hk/Services/Trading-hours-and-Severe-Weather-Arrangements/Trading-Hours/Securities-Market?sc_lang=en 2003:E7:4710:7193:A975:F8B4:8844:6943 (talk) 09:46, 22 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Misleading

Saying it is the largest exchange in terms of capitalization is misleading. The South China Morning Post refers to "market capitalization" as meaning the capitalization of the company that runs the exchange. When financial people talk about the "market capitalization" of an exchange, they mean the total value of the shares listed. In those terms, Hong Kong is the fourth largest. https://www.statista.com/statistics/270126/largest-stock-exchange-operators-by-market-capitalization-of-listed-companies/ Forrest Johnson (talk) 20:26, 16 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Spam/Advertising removal

Some crypto/binance bot added an advertisement. Surprised it wasn't caught but oh well. Just read through it and you'll see. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Hong_Kong_Stock_Exchange&oldid=1220007236 110.235.105.128 (talk) 09:44, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
