Finance chief hails mainland agency’s move to ease trading rules with Hong Kong

Hong Kong’s finance chief has hailed a move by mainland China’s securities regulator to ease trading rules with the local capital market, saying it demonstrates Beijing’s support in further boosting the city’s status as an international finance centre.

Financial Secretary Paul Chan Mo-po on Sunday also noted the China Securities Regulatory Commission would step up communication and coordination among government agencies to help more leading mainland companies list in Hong Kong.

“It will attract more international capital to Hong Kong, strengthening and enhancing the status of Hong Kong as an international financial centre,” Chan wrote in his weekly blog.

“This fully demonstrates the central government’s support for Hong Kong.”

The commission on Friday announced five measures to further enhance connectivity between the mainland and Hong Kong capital markets.

Under the measures to boost financial integration and development, more mainland investors will be able to trade Hong Kong stocks while those in the city and overseas can trade eligible A-shares.

A-shares are those of mainland companies that are listed on either the Shanghai or Shenzhen stock exchanges. A-shares are generally only available to mainland citizens for trading.

Implementation details of the new measures are being worked out by the mainland and Hong Kong stock exchanges and clearing houses, under the guidance of the securities regulators of the two jurisdictions.

In his Sunday blog post, Chan also said he had learned during a trip to mainland cities Hangzhou and Suzhou last week that many companies had applied to list in Hong Kong, or were planning to do so.

Chan paid a three-day visit to the two cities to explore opportunities for closer cooperation.

The financial secretary said he believed Hong Kong could offer high-quality professional services to help businesses in the two cities expand their international operations.

He also said he had visited many private enterprises specialising in artificial intelligence, biotechnology and new energy technologies.

These companies liked Hong Kong for its institutional advantages, including intellectual property protection and internationalisation, as well as the synergy with other Greater Bay Area cities, he added.

“They hope to use Hong Kong as their preferred springboard and platform to enter the international market, including establishing treasury centres and even international headquarters in Hong Kong,” Chan said.

The bay area is Beijing’s plan to integrate Hong Kong, Macau and nine neighbouring cities in Guangdong province into an economic powerhouse.

Why Nvidia stock is ripe for another surge: Investor

Why Nvidia stock is ripe for another surge: Investor

Listen and subscribe to Opening Bid on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your favorite podcasts.

Nvidia (NVDA) mania is heating up ahead of the market darling’s Wednesday earnings report.

The company is “representative of the most important stocks in America,” EMJ Capital founder and president Eric Jackson told Yahoo Finance executive editor Brian Sozzi on his Opening Bid podcast (listen in below; video above).

Jackson reiterated his call that Nvidia’s stock could double within the next twelve months given its wide lead on AI chip production.

“The investments [in AI] are just getting started,” Jackson added. “The need for these chips is still going to continue for the next year or two or three.”

Nvidia’s stock has surged more than 2,600% in the past five years according to Yahoo Finance data, fueled by one impressive quarter after another as it grabbed the top position in cutting-edge chips.

The company’s strong performance are expected to continue in its fiscal third quarter — sales and profits are each estimated to be up 83% from a year ago. Wall Street remains bullish on its favorite stock.

Of the 63 sell-side analysts that cover Nvidia, 59 rate the stock a buy or strong buy, Yahoo Finance data shows. The average price target stands at $160.38, about 13% above current levels.

“We see the near-term risks as largely balanced and we are buyers of Nvidia heading into its fiscal third quarter earnings report scheduled for Wednesday. Positive set-up indicators from accelerating bookings at cloud service providers, an upward bias on hyper-scale capital expenditures, as well as our view that near-term estimates will increase post the earnings call,” Evercore ISI analyst Mark Lipacis said in a client note on Monday.

Lipacis says if Nvidia were to let investors down, it would come in the form of decelerating revenue growth.

There has been a whirlwind of activity around Nvidia as of late.

In addition to achieving world’s most valuable company status by nudging out Apple (AAPL) and Google (GOOG), Nvidia joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average on Nov. 8. Former chip leader Intel (INTC) was kicked out.

“It’s good that Nvidia is part of the mix now,” Jackson said, noting it could encourage purchases from retail investors.

One potential hiccup is the restrictions around selling to China by the Biden administration and subsequent write downs which were a “meaningful part of their quarterly earnings,” Jackson said. “They had to take it down to zero.”

Incoming president Donald Trump could stay firm on the chip issue as well, making good on his campaign promises around China.
