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

The bourse said it will cancel the morning session for all markets if the warning remains issued at 9:00 am.

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

If the rainstorm alert is cancelled 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 cancelled as well, it said.
