HKEX received 85 consultation responses broadly supporting its proposed board-lot reforms and said the changes should boost operational efficiency and lower the market’s investment threshold. HKEX has decided to implement the following for eligible securities (stocks and REITs): lower the minimum board-lot value guidance from HKD2,000 to HKD1,000; introduce an upper board-lot value guidance of HKD50,000 for issuers with board-lot sizes above 100 shares; and standardize board-lot sizes to eight set options — 1, 50, 100, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 and 10,000 shares.

After New Delhi removed taxes on foreign investors, Indian bonds accessible to unrestricted global investment drew record inflows. Data from India’s clearing house show foreigners bought 418 billion rupees (about $4.4bn) via the fully open channel last month, nearly double the prior record of 239 billion rupees in Aug 2024. Persistent inflows should lower government borrowing costs and help support the rupee amid a stronger dollar. ANZ economist Dhiraj Nim said a mix of the tax cut, currency stability, pushed-out rate-hike expectations and reduced fiscal risk have encouraged foreign buying, but warned inflows could fade if global financial conditions tighten and US rates remain high. The flows mark a rebound after months of weakness; Indian equities outperformed other emerging markets in June and the rupee was the second-best performing Asian currency that month.
