HKEX Chief Executive: International investors are turning their attention to the Chinese market; HKEX will launch RMB-denominated gold futures.

The 2026 Policy Address of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region proposes deepening Hong Kong's global offshore RMB business and capital market. HKEX Chief Executive Officer Chan Yiting said on the 2nd that international investors have refocused their attention on Asia, especially the Chinese market, and are interested in diversified asset allocation. Hong Kong needs to build a diversified asset ecosystem, rather than only making the stock market bigger and stronger. HKEX will study the launch of RMB-denominated gold futures.
