Chinese stock markets continued their decline with the Hang Seng index dropping 2.3% and the Shanghai Composite by 1.8%. Hang Lung Properties and Longfor Properties saw significant losses. Despite a short-selling ban by the China Securities Regulatory Commission, the sell-off persisted, driven by investors exiting the market rather than hedge funds. U.S.-listed ETFs like the iShares MSCI China ETF experienced net outflows, with MCHI losing a third of its value over the past year. Market analysts attribute the downturn to political factors and trade tensions rather than economic issues. Tim Seymour expressed a cautious stance on China, highlighting state control over companies like Tencent and Alibaba.

Hong Kong Broadband Network (HKBN Ltd.) has issued a profit warning, expecting a loss of HK$1.3 billion ($167 million) for the year ending August 2023 due to rising interest rates. The Hong Kong Interbank Borrowing Rate (HIBOR) has surged by over four times in 2023, increasing borrowing costs. This rise in HIBOR could impact earnings of property developers like China Evergrande Group, Country Garden Holdings Company Limited, and Longfor Holdings Group Limited, and companies with high borrowing rates like Swire Pacific Ltd. and New World Development Co Limited.
