The ASX has communicated to all market participants of an industry-wide ASX settlement failure that occurred on Friday the 20th of December. This failure has meant that CHESS was not able to complete market settlement on Friday and has deferred settlement to Monday the 23rd of December. For those clients who had sell trades settling on Friday we have ensured those sale proceeds have been made available to you for trading on Monday. Stock delivery for clients who had buy trades settling will need to wait until Monday before the shares become available to sell. We apologise for any inconvenience this ASX outage has caused.
How do I place International orders for the Hong Kong market?
Shares traded on the Hong Kong stock market are traded in lots. For example, 500 shares per lot.
When placing an order for shares on the Hong Kong stock market you will need to ensure your order quantity is a multiple of the lot size. Upon selection of the Review Order button on the order pad a message will be displayed if your order does not meet the required lot size. This message will inform you of the lot size applicable for that security.
For value orders, the order quantity will round down to the nearest lot size.
