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.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

Rising Shorts
Ticker | Company | Short % | Week-on-Week | Month-on-Month |
---|---|---|---|---|
ACL | Australian Clinical Labs | 7.12% | 1.47% | 4.46% |
KAR | Karoon Energy | 5.64% | 0.96% | 1.39% |
LOT | Lotus Resources | 7.35% | 0.85% | 2.80% |

CIA | Champion Iron | 4.57% | 0.52% | 1.25% |
IEL | Idp Education | 13.90% | 0.51% | 1.50% |
Key takeaways:
Short sellers are targeting oil stocks (Karoon Energy) and uranium developers (Lotus, Boss Energy) amid growing concerns about the global economy. Last week, Brent crude oil prices tumbled 6.6% to US$71 a barrel or the lowest level since May 2023. Uranium prices have also been under pressure, with prices trading around US$79.5 a pound or the lowest since November 2023.
Iron ore prices have dipped around 10% in September to US$91 a tonne, close to a two-year low. This downturn has driving significant short interest into two heavyweight names: Mineral Resources and Fortescue. The short thesis is pretty clear for both companies. MinRes is in a precarious position due to its heavily leveraged balance sheet (approximately $6bn market cap, $4bn debt and $2bn capex spend for FY25). This financial structure leaves MinRes particularly exposed to the current commodity price trough.
The risks to Fortescue's pure exposure to iron ore prices is compounded by ongoing capital expenditure risks associated with its ambitious push into green energy.

SQ2 | Block | 1.60% | -0.52% | -1.60% |
JLG | Johns Lyng Group | 3.18% | -0.50% | -0.47% |
Key takeaways:
Aurizon's short interest has experienced significant volatility, surging from approximately 1.3% in April to a record high of 4.6% on August 27, before retreating to its original level by September. The primary catalyst appears to be the company's FY24 results, released on August 12, which fell short of analyst expectations for both earnings and dividends. Compounding this disappointment, Aurizon provided weaker-than-anticipated FY25 profit guidance, citing higher operational costs. Aurizon shares finished the session down 8.8%.
Healius has been defying short sellers, with its stock price climbing roughly 13% since announcing its FY24 results on August 19. The company's full-year EBIT of $65 million landed at the upper end of its recently revised range ($60-65m) and exceeded Macquarie's expectations by 5%. This improved performance was attributed to positive volume and revenue trends in both its pathology and imaging divisions.
Short interest is unwinding across several reporting season losers that experienced sizeable one-day selloffs and/or sustained weakness. This includes names like Nufarm, Data#3, Endeavour Group, Webjet and Johns Lyng Group
Shares of Affirm Holdings, Inc. rose sharply in today's pre-market trading following strong fourth-quarter earnings and upbeat first-quarter guidance.

Affirm Holdings shares jumped 18% to $37.24 in the pre-market trading.
