Hong Kong Futures Exchange Limited plans to include currency futures and options in Derivatives Holiday Trading starting from 29 March 2024, subject to regulatory approval.
Upon the inclusion of currency futures and options in Derivatives Holiday Trading, Exchange Participants (EPs) who support trading activities during Hong Kong public holidays can continue to trade currency futures and options on both Business Days and H Days.
For the avoidance of doubt, EPs, who are non-Holiday Trading EPs, are required to unwind their positions of currency futures and options before the close of T Session of 20 March 2024 and the Exchange will remove NH EPs trading access to currency futures and options after 20 March 2024. NH EPs will not be able to trade currency futures and options starting on 21 March 2024.
NH EPs, who intend to trade currency futures and options after the inclusion of currency futures and options in Derivatives Holiday Trading, are required to become Holiday Trading EPs before 20 March 2024.
