The Hong Kong bourse operator is “committed to keeping our markets fully operational”, Charles Li, chief executive of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing (HKEX) said on Wednesday, amid volatility triggered by the coronavirus epidemic.

Several European stock exchanges have said that they too will stay open for business. The Philippine Stock Exchange closed on Tuesday, but has said it will reopen on Thursday.

HKEX runs the London Metal Exchange, as well as the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong.

Hong Kong stocks slumped to their lowest close in more than three years on Wednesday.
