Connect with Shenzhen could lead to more market turbulence in Hong Kong
Reports suggest that the prospect of a stock connect being established between China's Shenzhen exchange and the Hong Kong exchange, together with the operation of circuit breakers in the system, could lead to even greater levels of turbulence in China's markets. The sharper and more violent stock movement that can be observed in the Shenzhen exchange, due to the comparatively small size of that market, could lead to greater swings in the Hong Kong market, once the stock connect is established.
