These options, which allow traders to make tactical bets on short-term market movements, were first introduced in the US in 2022 and have significantly increased trading volume.

Hong Kong-listed companies are now required to obtain shareholder approval to change auditors, as part of a regulatory effort to enhance corporate governance and transparency in the $7.5 trillion market. The new rules mandate that auditor appointments or removals occur only at general meetings and require disclosure of specific audit fees to prevent disputes. This move aims to close loopholes that allowed boards to pressure auditors into resigning without shareholder oversight, addressing concerns over governance failures and opinion shopping practices.
