  "summary": "Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) is extending its overnight derivatives trading session by 75 minutes, starting in March 2027, in an effort to align more closely with global market hours and strengthen Hong Kong's role as an international risk management centre. The new AHT session would run from 4.15am to 5.30am Hong Kong time, subject to regulatory approval and system readiness. Additionally, HKEX has started accepting Bond Connect securities and Ministry of Finance bonds as eligible non-cash collateral, broadening collateral choice and supporting liquidity management. These moves come as HKEX seeks to narrow the gap with regional rivals and support investor demand for longer trading hours.",
