BREAKING NEWS

Trading begins Monday on a new Nasdaq-style technology board in Shanghai that represents one of China’s most significant market reforms, and a potential weapon in its growing tech rivalry with the United States. Twenty-five stocks will debut on the Shanghai Stocks Exchange’s Sci-Tech Innovation Board – dubbed the STAR Market – in which listing and trading rules have been eased to help channel funding to start-ups.
Mainboard-listed Sinostar Pec Holdings on Sunday announced it expects to report a net loss for the second quarter ended June 30. Sinostar is a producer and supplier of downstream petrochemical products in China, with production facilities in the Dongming County of Shandong province. The loss is anticipated mainly due to the decrease in the overall market selling price of petrochemical products, the firm said in the profit guidance filing.
Hong Kong police fired rubber bullets and tear gas in running clashes with protesters late on Sunday amid chaotic scenes as anger over an extradition bill morphs into a fresh front against what many see as a broader erosion of freedoms by Beijing. Thousands of protesters descended on China’s representative office in the city, in a direct challenge to authorities in Beijing, just hours after the latest demonstrations to rock the Asian financial central.
