More and more people should join into buying equities as saving FD rate should continue to remain low. So, this dip should not prolong affect people joining in to buy hong kong stocks. Just my view. Hehe.

  thanks you are right... your comment encouraged me to read up.. turns out stamp duty maybe about 80% of the cost of trading.. in calculating returns, still very small impact though.

The news regarding the stamp duty just sped up the selling,” said Steven Leung, executive director and institutional sales at UOB Kay Hian in Hong Kong.Hong Kong’s Financial Secretary Paul Chan pledged HK$120 billion ($15.5 billion) of fiscal support targeted at consumers and the unemployed to help boost an economy emerging from two years of recession.The counter-cyclical measures include spending vouchers of HK$5,000 for each resident and HK$15 billion of guaranteed loans for those without jobs, Chan said in his budget speech to the Legislative Council on Wednesday. To boost revenue, he proposed raising the stamp duty on stock trading to 0.13% from 0.1%.Chan said the focus of the budget is on stabilizing an economy hit by political and social unrest in 2019 and then the coronavirus pandemic last year. After a record contraction of 6.1% last year, the economy will grow in a range of 3.5%-5.5% in 2021, he said.The consumption vouchers should help stimulate spending, benefiting restaurants, retailers and tourism businesses knocked by virus shutdowns last year.

The deficit will narrow to HK$101.6 billion in the coming year, or 3.6% of gross domestic product, he said. Fiscal reserves are expected to reach HK$902.7 billion by the end of March, he said.","kind":"news","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":true,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":1},"commentList":[{"id":366119790,"gmtCreate":1614408288910,"gmtModify":1703477377640,"author":{"id":"3554940541217211","authorId":"3554940541217211","name":"MyGate","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/bd5d001d1c51c479c77e8dde6f89d808","vip":1,"crmLevel":5,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"idStr":"3554940541217211","authorIdStr":"3554940541217211"},"htmlText":"I thinm is ok","listText":"I thinm is ok","text":"I thinm is ok","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://laohu8.com/post/366119790","repostId":1116673306,"repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1116673306","kind":"news","pubTimestamp":1614142421,"share":"https://www.laohu8.com/m/news/1116673306?lang=&edition=full","pubTime":"2021-02-24 12:53","market":"hk","language":"en","title":"Hong Kong proposes raising stamp duty on stock trading to 0.13%","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1116673306","media":"Bloomberg","summary":"Budget outlines spending vouchers, loans for unemployedChan proposes raising stamp duty on stock tra","content":"<ul><li>Budget outlines spending vouchers, loans for unemployed</li><li>Chan proposes raising stamp duty on stock trading to 0.13%</li></ul><p>Hang Seng slumps 3% on report of stamp duty hike,The Hang Seng tech index shed 5%,Shares of Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd fell once 12% after the report.</p><p><a href=\"http://laohu8.com/news/1191237890\" target=\"_blank\">How Hong Kong’s Stamp Duty Impacts Trading on HKEX</a></p><p>“The market had been underselling pressure, especially selling of those tech shares, high valuation shares.
