Recent volatility, regulatory signals and onshore

investor feedback

HSBC/STAN shares have corrected 8%/10% since 1 June, underperforming the Banks & Financial Services

HSI by 4ppt/6ppt, likely reflecting investor concerns about growth and the MCV AC Katherine Lei

back book following the ODI rule announcement. While share price movements (852) 2800-8552
