Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing reported record quarterly profit and revenue as trading activity maintained momentum despite global volatility. The exchange operator's net profit jumped 27% year-over-year to HK$5.19 billion, equivalent to US$662.3 million, reflecting increased investor activity in the region.

Revenue climbed 20% to HK$8.20 billion, driven by higher trading and clearing fees from increased market volumes. The company noted stronger performance across both cash and commodities markets, with headline average daily turnover rising 14% to HK$276.7 billion during the quarter despite Middle East market turmoil.

The results demonstrate Hong Kong's continued appeal as a financial center even during geopolitical uncertainty. The exchange's performance shows resilience amid global market turbulence, positioning Hong Kong as a stable venue for capital formation and trading activities in Asia.
