The Chicago-based firm is adding 11,000 square feet of office space at One International Finance Centre, Bloomberg's sources revealed. This move will provide Jump Trading with a new floor and further bolster its presence on its current floor. In addition to the office expansion, Jump Trading is planning to hire more staff in Hong Kong, with a focus on quantitative trading and artificial intelligence positions, according to the unnamed sources. The firm did not provide a comment through a spokesperson. The expansion comes at a time when Hong Kong's equity market is experiencing a revival, with a thriving IPO market attracting interest from global trading firms. Jane Street Group recently secured six floors at Central Yards development, and Qube Research & Technologies signed a deal at Two International Finance Centre.",
