Hong Kong's total short selling value fell 11.09% to HK$42.075 billion, with short selling accounting for 21.1% of market turnover, down from 21.84% the previous day, according to Ming Pao. The ratio was the lowest since August 31, when it stood at 19.71%.

Aeren International (00684) said its public float stood at 24.04% as of the announcement date, still below the 25% minimum required under the listing rules. The company said it had explored the possibility of certain connected persons selling shares to restore the public float, but discussions faced major obstacles because shareholders have their own investment plans and the company cannot control the timing, scale or method of any disposals, according to ETNet. It also noted that if connected persons sell shares, existing major shareholders or their associates may take up the stock, which would not materially improve the public float. Aeren International said it is actively considering other options to achieve the target in a more cost-effective way. Despite repeated efforts, it has not restored the public float within the original timetable, citing factors including continued share accumulation in the open market by some shareholders, reluctance by approached major shareholders to reduce holdings, and the costs associated with adopting a share scheme. The company said it needs additional time and has extended the deadline for restoring the public float by another six months from the date of this announcement, to March 2027.

Federal Reserve Chair Kevin Warsh struck a hawkish tone in his speech at the Jackson Hole global central bank symposium last Friday, but Invesco Global Head of Research Benjamin Jones said the remarks did not change his forecast for rates to stay unchanged for the rest of the year, according to ETNet. Warsh reiterated the Fed's commitment to its 2% inflation target and said inflation has missed that goal for 65 straight months. He also said it is hard to describe overall financial conditions as restrictive and that the Fed should focus on prices for now. Jones said the speech showed Warsh was not feeling any political pressure to cut rates and helped explain why long-dated U.S. Treasury yields briefly eased during the speech. He added that the Fed is gradually removing the signposts markets use to judge policy direction, which could push investors to demand more compensation for risk and lift term premiums. Jones also said the U.S. labor market remains resilient, citing a Bureau of Labor Statistics quarterly benchmark revision that cut job gains for the April 2025 to March 2026 period by 79,000. He said corporate earnings have also been strong, with S&P 500 companies posting one of the best ratios of beats to misses in decades, while Europe and Japan also recorded double-digit earnings growth. On the dollar, Jones said he is unsure it can keep strengthening. He said higher yields and a hawkish Fed usually support the currency, but if long-term yields rise because investors want extra compensation rather than because they are confident in growth, the dollar may not benefit. He added that a rise in the U.S. 10-year Treasury yield to 5% would not necessarily be a major problem, while a sharp drop in yields would be more concerning.

Law firm Harneys and tokenization platform droppRWA plan to issue the first catastrophe bond with ownership recorded directly on a blockchain, with the first trading target set for early 2027. According to ChainCatcher, the structure would make the blockchain a legally enforceable ownership record, while investor registration, eligibility checks, and payment processes would all run on the same system, potentially cutting reconciliation time from days to seconds if required regulatory approvals are obtained. The catastrophe bond market is valued at $65.6 billion and is used by insurers, reinsurers, and government agencies to transfer natural disaster exposure to capital markets investors. According to ChainCatcher, the tokenized asset market has nearly tripled over the past year to more than $33 billion, and Citi expects the sector to reach $5.5 trillion by 2030. The second quarter of 2026 was the largest quarter in catastrophe bond issuance history, with 48 deals totaling $11.3 billion, while the Bermuda Stock Exchange handled 93% of global catastrophe bond issuance in 2025. To lower the entry threshold, investors would not buy the catastrophe bond notes directly, which typically have a minimum denomination of $250,000. Instead, they would buy beneficial interests in a vehicle that holds the bonds and passes through returns, with the minimum investment potentially falling to $5,000. The project still requires applicable regulatory approvals, and any platform administrator role must be licensed under Bermuda's Digital Asset Business Act 2018.
