Concerns over the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect’s quota limits have been growing as its launch approaches, The Wall Street Journal reported. Current rules limit net inflows to Shanghai at RMB13 billion (US$2.12 billion) daily, which could potentially be reached within the early hours or even minutes on the opening day of trading next month, leaving investors concerned about whether or not they will be able to get their orders filled. Meanwhile, Chinese investors have bought up large quantities of Shanghai-listed shares in anticipation of the launch, pushing the Shanghai Composite up about 11% since Stock Connect was announced in April.
