Switch exam
On a Tuesday in October 2026, Typhoon Signal No. 8 is hoisted at 10:00 a.m. Mr Wong wants to sell SEHK-listed shares that afternoon. What is the position?
Since 23 September 2024 HKEX has run Severe Weather Trading: the securities and derivatives markets stay open for trading, clearing and settlement when Typhoon Signal No. 8 or above or a Black Rainstorm Warning is in force. So Mr Wong can sell that afternoon as on a normal day. Stopping trading and cancelling orders was the old arrangement. Clearing and settlement continue as well, so his sale is not held up. Severe weather does not reduce the day to a closing auction.

Remembering the pre-September 2024 rule that typhoons closed the market.
