The Hong Kong exchange's Monday morning trading session has been canceled due to a severe rainstorm alert.

The cancellation followed the bourse's earlier move to delay trading after the Hong Kong Observatory issued a Black Rainstorm warning.

The cancellation also applies to Hong Kong-China stock connect trading, Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Ltd. said Monday.

If the rainstorm alert is canceled at or before noon, HKEX said it will resume trading for major products of its securities and derivatives markets in the afternoon.

If the alert remains at noon, all afternoon trading will be canceled as well, it said.
