Impact on Market Participants - Over 70% of market transactions will see a reduction in trading costs, particularly benefiting small investors and high-frequency trading strategies [8][10]. - The adjustment is expected to enhance market liquidity by attracting more small transactions, as approximately 77% of trades from 2019 to 2024 were below 100,000 HKD [9][10]. Broker Notifications - Major brokers, including CITIC Securities and China Galaxy Securities, have begun notifying clients about the upcoming changes to the transaction fee structure [5][7]. - Brokers will update relevant trading agreements to reflect the new fee structure [7].
