HKEX Weekly Index Options: An Efficient Tool to Manage Short-Term Market Risks

HKEX has launched weekly index options contracts on Hang Seng Index (HSI) and Hang Seng China Enterprise Index (HSCEI) on 16 September, allowing investors to capture short-term opportunities in the Asia market at a relatively low cost. With a lower option premium and faster time decay comparing to monthly index options, weekly index options are a tool for investors to trade on short-term market movements and execute short options strategies. Typically, each contract will be available for trading on Monday and expire on the following Friday.
