What is Hang Seng
The Hang Seng Index tracks many of the largest companies listed in Hong Kong, including major Chinese firms. It is the headline measure of the Hong Kong market.
Because of its heavy weighting in Chinese companies, finance and property, it is closely tied to the Chinese economy and to policy decisions in Beijing.
The Hang Seng is one of Asia’s most important indices and a key gauge of sentiment toward China.
