Hi  , thanks for your question. 

 

Trading Hong Kong shares is currently only available on the leveraged CFD and Spread Betting platforms. You can review the commission for CFD and spread betting spreads at those respective links. As  noted you can either use the company name or ticker code to bring up the stock in the platform, however if you can't find it please let us know and we can see if it's possible to add. We require all new stock requests on a case by case basis depending on liquidity, market cap and free float levels, as well as other factors such as price action and historical market movement. 

 

Trading physical Hong Kong stock on our Stockbroking or ISA accounts isn't currently possible, however I will note this as feedback. Currently we have the following markets on the non-leveraged side of things:

 

  • UK: FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and many other small cap UK stocks
  • US: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and many other small cap US stocks
  • Germany: DAX, HDAX, MDAX
  • Ireland: ISEQ
  • Netherlands: AEX
  • Belgium: BEL 20
  • Austria: ATX, WBI
  • Australia: ASX/S&P 300

Hi James

 

I have the same newbie question but it is 6 months down the line. Wondering if things have changed?

 

I want to buy one particular share (Tencent Holdings) on HKSE. I can see it on the platform, there are messages relating to status eg market open, call to deal but the stock label is in red and the options to buy don't seem to be opening up so far even when the market is open.,

 

Many thanks.

Hi  - Tencent trades in Honk Kong and therefore won't be open at the moment. You should be able to trade this over the split session, from 1.30 am - 4 am, and then from 5 am until 8 am. (All times in GMT)

 

I hope this clarifies things.

Hi James/ All,

 

On the IG Share Dealing and ISA platforms at 0710 to 0725 when Hong Kong Stock Exchange seems to be open 

https://www.worldtimezone.com/markets24.php Tencent Holdings is still displayed in red with the info Status: Market Closed / Action: no action available. Can anyone help? Have I just missed the opening times and it is closed again or is there some other factor?

 

Many thanks.

Hi  - apologies that I didn't confirm in the original reply to yourself, however I was following on from the thread above (specifically the post by myself with a green tick next to it which can be seen here). Unfortunately you can only trade HK stock via a CFD or spread betting account, and it won't be available on a share dealing account. Sorry about any confusion I may have caused, but to clarify currently we have the following markets on the non-leveraged side of things:

 

  • UK: FTSE 100, FTSE 250 and many other small cap UK stocks
  • US: S&P 500, NASDAQ 100 and many other small cap US stocks
  • Germany: DAX, HDAX, MDAX
  • Ireland: ISEQ
  • Netherlands: AEX
  • Belgium: BEL 20
  • Austria: ATX, WBI
  • Australia: ASX/S&P 300

Thanks! The listing that comes up for Tencent on IG is Tencent Holdings Ltd (DE) which having done some work on it is an Xetra Listing on Deutschebourse. Is there any way to buy that on IG?

 

Kind regards

Hi Jerry - so the German listing unfortunately can't be traded. This is quoted in Frankfurt, but it's different from the electronically matched Xetra listing and would instead require a very manual process (call Citi via EMSX, who then call the pitt to trade). Unfortunately this just isn't feasible via the offering which we have so we wouldn't be able to offer this.

Thanks for your help James. It is a steep learning curve for novices ! And  I seem to have picked a share / firm that suits a more advanced investor! I will persevere! I did find a broker who can buy Tencent via HKSE ... minimum £10.5k trade which is well out of my league for the timebeing

 

Kind regards

Hello,

We are 2 years from the statement. Have things changed and HK would be available for normal (Dealing/ ISA) accounts? Would be nice to have a chance to buy there as buying it in USA is too much risk for me now. Therefore would love to know are you going to expand your range?

Regards,

    • Just recently, I wrote an article about how a Solana blockchain art project (Artrade) is helping artists raise their earnings and even further transforming their physical works into RWA essentially NFTs. With that in mind, I came across Rarible, a marketplace that focuses on digital art and NFTs and the similarities of the platforms caught my attention. Rarible allows artists to sell their creations as NFTs, essentially digital certificates of ownership and cuts out middlemen, connecting artists directly with buyers. Beyond trading, Rarible offers a somewhat user-friendly interface for creating NFTs, even for beginners.   The platform unlike Artrade is built on the Ethereum blockchain and uses its own token, RARI, for governance and rewarding active users. In the long term they seem building with the goal of becoming a DAO in the future While it’s still early days, I have no doubt Rarible offers a unique approach to buying, selling, and creating digital art, and the recent listing on Bitget will further expose it to new communities and potential investors.   Do you think RARI's approach will be sustainable as a marketplace for NFTs?
    • Soybeans Elliott Wave Analysis  Function - Trend  Mode - Impulse  Structure - Impulse for (5)  Position - Wave 1 of (5) Direction - Wave 2 of (5) Details - Wave 1 of (5) completing with a diagonal. Wave 2 bounce is emerging before the price turns downside for 3 of (5). Invalidation now at 1226’6. Not much has changed since the last update.   Soybean Price Analysis: Elliott Wave Perspective Signals Continued Downward Trend   In the realm of commodity trading, Soybean has recently undergone a significant downturn, marking a nearly 7% drop since March 21st. This decline appears to be part of a broader trend that commenced back in June 2022. However, before this recent descent, there was a brief period of respite characterized by a corrective bounce starting in late February.    Delving deeper into the price action, an Elliott Wave analysis sheds light on the intricacies of Soybean's movement. The daily chart's decline since June 2022 reveals a corrective pattern, delineated into waves A-B-C, as denoted by blue annotations.   The initial wave, labeled as Blue Wave 'A', terminated at 1249 in October 2023, exhibiting a distinct diagonal pattern. Subsequently, a modest rebound ensued, marked by Blue Wave 'B', which concluded at 1398 in November 2023. However, the ascendancy was short-lived as the bears regained control, manifesting in the ongoing development of Blue Wave 'C'. This wave, evolving into an impulse wave, has currently progressed to wave (5) following the completion of wave (4) in March 2024.   Zooming in on the H4 chart, a granular analysis reveals the sub-waves of wave (5). Wave 1 of (5) concluded with a diagonal structure, followed by a corrective phase as the price undergoes a temporary upside correction to complete wave 2. Despite uncertainties regarding whether wave 2 has fully concluded or will undergo another upward leg, the overarching trajectory remains clear – a downward break is anticipated to continue wave 3 of (5), leading to further downside movement.   In light of this analysis, the prevailing sentiment favors sellers, who continue to assert dominance over the commodity market. As long as the price remains below 1226’6, the outlook remains skewed towards further downside potential, with the possibility of reaching the lowest price point since November 2020.   In conclusion, the Elliott Wave perspective offers valuable insights into Soybean's price dynamics, signaling a continued bearish trajectory in the near term. While short-term fluctuations may occur, the broader trend suggests that sellers are likely to maintain control, shaping the commodity's price action in the foreseeable future.   Technical Analyst : Sanmi Adeagbo   Source : Tradinglounge.com get trial here!
