Trade Hong Kong 50 - HK50 CFD

The Hong Kong 50

The Hong Kong 50 is a tradeable CFD index market with Capital.com.

The Hong Kong 50 Index – also known as the HSI – includes 82 (as of April 2024) of the largest and most liquid stocks listed on the Main Board of the Stock Exchange of Hong Kong. It’s the most widely quoted gauge of the Hong Kong stock market.

Much like the S&P 500, the Hong Kong 50 Index is a market-capitalisation-weighted index, meaning companies with larger market caps have a more significant influence on the index’s overall performance. 

The HSI is reviewed quarterly to ensure it accurately represents the market by assessing the sector balance and liquidity of its constituents – and 8% capping is applied to avoid any single stock dominating the index. 

The Hong Kong 50 Index covers diverse sectors including finance, IT, energy, real estate, telecommunication and more, making it a primary indicator of the Hong Kong stock market’s overall health.

Some of the major companies in the Hong Kong 50 Index include HSBC Holdings (0005), Alibaba (9988), Tencent Holdings (0700), AIA Group (1299) and China Construction Bank Corporation (0939).

Capital.com is one of the best stock trading platforms I’ve used. The UX and UI on both the mobile app and web platform are outstanding, making it incredibly easy to navigate. They’ve built a vibrant community of traders and investors, and their UAE team really stands out for delivering an exceptional trading experience.

Great app! I requested some features to be added, such as analysis tools, and they delivered. Amazing job! The agents are always helpful and reply quickly. It’s not 5 stars because, at times, some less experienced agents may say it’s impossible to fulfill the request or fix the problem while another agent, like Angel, quickly escalated the issue to the necessary team/person/department and resolved it

This is an excellent platform. The stop loss and take profit work very well; however, when the changes are very fast like at the beginning of the session, the stop loss does not work. If this defect is corrected it will be the perfect platform.

Efficiency. When creating the account, it was smooth, efficient from start to finish. Verification of documents also was done the same day, unlike other platforms where you have to wait a day or two.
