Hong Kong braces for Super Typhoon Yagi; markets may close under Storm Signal 8 warning.

The weather bureau issued storm warning signal 3 – the second-lowest on its scale of five – on Sept 4 evening and said the weather over the coast of Guangdong will deteriorate on Sept 5 and Sept 6. The observatory said it will assess the need to issue higher alert.

If the weather office issues a storm signal 8, the third-highest warning, the city’s US$5 trillion (S$6.5 trillion) stock market will be shut for at least a portion of the day. However, it could be the last typhoon that will force a market closure: the financial hub will end its decades-long practice of shutting markets during typhoons and major storms starting Sept 23.
