Hang Seng rallied almost 2.5% today and was the best performing major stock market index from Asia-Pacific region. The move higher was triggered by a Bloomberg report released yesterday in the evening. Bloomberg reported that Chinese regulators, including the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission, are reviewing a plan that would remove 20% tax on dividends from Hong Kong shares, that were bought via Stock Connect. Stock Connect is a system that links Hong Kong stock exchange with exchanges from China Mainland, namely Shanghai and Shenzhen. The move would be aimed to remove double taxation of dividends. The move higher on the Hang Seng today was driven primarily by dividend stocks.
