HKEX says it is studying longer night trading hours for derivatives

Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) is actively studying an extension of night trading hours for derivatives, according to a new CEO blog post cited by Securities Times on Oct. 12. HKEX Chief Executive Bonnie Y Chan also outlined several other priorities in the post. They include a planned consultation on improving the listing regime for Specialist Technology Companies and GEM, as well as efforts to attract more international companies to pursue primary or secondary listings in Hong Kong. Chan also said HKEX and mainland Chinese partners are preparing to include real estate investment trusts, or REITs, in the Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect program, while also working on adding RMB stock counters to Southbound Stock Connect. On the question of extending equity market trading hours, Chan said HKEX would begin by leading market discussions and look for a plan acceptable to all sides.

Morgan Stanley Initiates Coverage on Bitcoin Miners: Overweight on Cipher and TeraWulf, Underweight on Marathon

Morgan Stanley initiated coverage of three publicly traded bitcoin miners on Monday, assigning Overweight ratings to Cipher Mining (CIFR) and TeraWulf (WULF) while giving Marathon Digital (MARA) an Underweight rating. Analyst Stephen Byrd set price targets of $38 for Cipher and $37 for TeraWulf. The thesis focuses on transforming mining sites into data center assets that can generate stable, long-term cash flows like REITs, de-emphasizing pure bitcoin exposure. Cipher and TeraWulf are favored for their data center capabilities and management experience, while Marathon is faulted for its hybrid model, limited hosting history, and heavy reliance on bitcoin prices. The coverage reflects a broader trend of bitcoin miners pivoting from proof-of-work mining to AI and high-performance computing data centers.
