Chapter 485: Setting a Historical Record

October 26th, Monday.

The Hong Kong stock market had been closed for four days, and it started falling as soon as it opened at ten. Just like in America, after the big drop on the 19th, the government implemented a series of measures, which resulted in the market initially falling on the 20th but then starting to rise. By the end of the day, the stock index had been pulled up by 102 points, and on the 21st, it rose another 186 points compared to the 20th. However, Hong Kong stocks plummeted without ease, dropping a full 1120 points by the afternoon close to 2241 points, a decline of 33.33%, marking the largest single-day drop in history for the Hong Kong stock market.
