The shares of Cutia surged by 10% to HK$29.1 (US$3.71) and reached HK$31.00 earlier in the day. The company revealed in a filing that it had been added to the list of stocks for the Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect and the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect southbound trading links, effective immediately.
As part of the southbound trading link scheme, eligible mainland investors can now trade Hong Kong-listed stocks, subject to daily quota restrictions.
