Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.

TORONTO, Sept. 18, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Behr Paint Company is proud to announce the introduction of its Women in Paint™ program, an initiative designed to elevate the achievements of Canadian professional women painters and to inspire the next generation in the skilled trades.
Women in Paint™ is a comprehensive program aimed at celebrating the voices and significant contributions of women in the painting industry. In its inaugural year, Behr is excited to be collaborating with established contractor and television personality, Kate Campbell, to champion the power of mentorship as an advocate and spokesperson for Women in Paint in Canada. Kate will not only share her story and insights through a series of contributed articles and content but also lend her expertise to a Women in Paint contest where one emerging professional entering the painting trades will win 1:1 mentorship with her (see Official Rules for details).
"I’m honoured to be teaming up with Behr to encourage more women to consider a career in the trades and to help grow Women in Paint,” says Kate Campbell. “I have seen firsthand the incredible impact women can have in the trades and I’m excited to share my experience and be part of a community where women can inspire and mentor one another.”
Through Women in Paint, Behr seeks to provide tradeswomen with community support, mentorship opportunities, learning resources and increased visibility within the industry, and aims to inspire more women to pursue and thrive in a fulfilling career in the painting trades.
“As a company, Behr is dedicated to empowering and supporting the emergence and growth of women in the painting trades,” said Christine Speagle, Director, Brand Marketing at Behr Canada. “We are pleased to introduce the Women in Paint program to empower women painters by providing them with support, mentorship, and platforms to display their talents. Our mission is to inspire more women to enter and excel in the trades, fostering a diverse and inclusive industry.”
Behr has also teamed up with several accomplished Canadian women in the painting trades to share their unique perspectives, key learnings and inspiring journeys as entrepreneurs in a series of peer-contributed articles. Their stories can be found online at BehrPro.ca/WomenInPaint and are accompanied by additional resources offering tips, guidance and support to emerging professionals to help them navigate a career in the painting trades.
To further build a Women in Paint network and community, Behr is joining forces with The Home Depot Canada to host a series of pro workshops in Ontario this fall catering to women considering, or newly embarking on a career in the painting trades.
“We recognize the importance of representing and empowering women in the trades and are happy to be supporting the Women in Paint program,” says Sara Palacios, Marketing Manager, The Home Depot Canada. “We are proud to work alongside Behr to offer exclusive workshops and opportunities for women to connect, learn, and grow within a supportive network. Our collective goal is to ensure that women painters have every tool and resource available to thrive in their careers.”

Home Depot has agreed to a settlement of almost $2 million to resolve allegations that it overcharged customers at checkout.
What Happened: The lawsuit, filed by prosecutors from six California counties, accused the retailer of “scanner violations,” where the prices at checkout were higher than the advertised prices. The case was brought to the San Diego County Superior Court, reported NBC News.
In a statement, Home Depot said it has updated the timing of its price changes to ensure consistency for customers. The settlement, which does not admit any wrongdoing, was approved by Judge Richard Whitney and filed on Aug. 26.
Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón stated that the price discrepancies were not accidental and accused the company of deceptive practices. The settlement includes $1.7 million for consumer law enforcement across several counties and additional funds for consumer regulators and watchdogs.
Under the agreement, Home Depot must always use the lowest posted prices, hire an internal price watchdog, assign price accuracy checks to store managers and make price accuracy records available to prosecutors.

Why It Matters: This settlement comes at a time when Home Depot is already grappling with various challenges. Recently, the company’s CEO Ted Decker highlighted that inflation is eroding disposable income, causing many homeowners to delay renovations and repairs. This economic strain has been reflected in the company’s financial performance.
In its latest earnings report, Home Depot posted a modest sales growth of 0.6% year-over-year, falling short of Wall Street expectations. Analysts have since lowered their price forecasts for the company, citing a weaker consumer outlook.
Moreover, the retail giant has been trying to boost sales by introducing holiday merchandise earlier than usual, aiming to counteract potential slowdowns in consumer spending due to economic uncertainties and the upcoming presidential election.

A possible strike by thousands of dockworkers at East and Gulf coast ports in October could result in major disruptions in the supply chain of goods coming in and out of the U.S., according to an export on container trade.
The International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), representing more than 85,000 dockworkers, may go on strike on Oct. 1 as the union’s contract expires on Sept. 30 and negotiations between the ILA and U.S. Maritime Alliance of terminal operators show signs of breaking down, said Christian Roeloffs, CEO of online container leasing platform Container xChange.
“A strike now appears increasingly likely, threatening to disrupt nearly half of the nation’s ocean trade,” he said on Tuesday.
“The uncertainty is compounded by the fact that the duration of these strikes is unclear — it could be resolved within weeks or drag on for months, as seen with the West Coast strike last year.
“September is traditionally one of the busiest months for U.S. containerized imports, driven by the peak shipping season as businesses prepare for the holiday rush.”

But it isn’t just a strike that threatens to disrupt the shipment of goods for the retail, automotive and other sectors, he said.
“This year presents an unprecedented combination of challenges that could heavily impact supply chains. Potential labor strikes, natural disasters, and tariff uncertainties are converging, creating a highly volatile environment for global trade,” he said.
“This also led to the pulling forward of orders by retailers, which led to strong inventories in the U.S.”
A strike could also cause havoc for container leasing and trading companies by causing major delays, port congestion and rerouted cargo, Roeloffs said.
"Companies should anticipate short-term spikes in demand for leased containers as retailers rush to secure goods ahead of potential disruptions, particularly for seasonal inventory and industrial shipments," he said.
“While the threat of strikes looms large, it's important to note that U.S. inventories are currently strong due to the pulling forward of orders earlier this year to avoid existing disruptions.
The retail, automotive and semiconductor industries, all of which could be impacted by a port strike, saw gains and losses into Tuesday’s mid-day trading.
