Hong Kong Stock Exchange pricing data

Thursday, May 8, 2008 at 8:51 AM



We've just added support to Google Finance for Hong Kong Stock Exchange listings. In addition to news and descriptive data (which we already offer for these listings), you'll now see intra-day data and pretty charts. You can search for companies by name using the search box. You can also search by ticker -- for example, if you'd like to find the current price for stock in Hutchison Whampoa, you can search for it by name, as 0013.HK, or as HKG:0013.

Note: While we've added support for Hong Kong equities, we haven't yet added support for the Hang Seng indices. We're working on adding Hang Seng support, and will announce it here as soon as it's available.

Thanks for using Google Finance! As always, if you find any problems, please let us know.

The addition of another stock exchange is great news. But I really wish some essential things would be completed on existing exchanges before you move on to new ones. You still don't have dividend information for Canadian stocks. And you're missing that information for Hong Kong stocks too - the example you give, Hutchison Whampoa, has a dividend of HK$1.22 according to their website but has no dividend according to Google Finance!!!

That, and the fact we can't turn-on Bollinger Bands in the graph stops from using Google Finance.

I thought there might be some acknowledgement of an almost universal thumbs down of your 'redesigned' page at http://googlefinanceblog.blogspot.com/2008/04/new-home-page-and-new-country.html

When will we see the ability to do Technical Analysis with your loggen in profile and save charts and notes etc? That would be truly amazing and make google finance beat the heck out of yahoo and provide a platform that would also draw more active traders over like those using bigcharts and stockcharts etc. I miss the ability to click som sort of advanced button and play with a host of TA tools that I use as an addition to my own fundamentals research.

If google could also do candlesticks plots that would be truly a giant leap forward for online stock info everywhere.

Though the link with blogs etc that's on the page people could analyse the stocks etc, both fundamentals and with TA which would make for a really exciting community. It could be through the discussions platfor there and give peopel the ability to add the charts in either a regular or special part of the discussions page and do their own analysis???

Just a few thoughts.

As barry said, some of the stocks are not available in Google Finance, such as HKG:0945 (Manulife) and HKG:1186 (China Railyway Construction) [HKG:1186 can be searched but cannot be entered into My Portfolio]. It would be nice if My Portfolio can use these stocks.

Glad to see Google Finance supports Hong Kong stock, but the important Hong Kong stock index hasn't supported yet. Will be perfect if include HK index and iGoogle gadget can select Hong Kong with all popular indexes in Hong Kong market.

I don't think Hang Seng Index is that important. Fix those missing stock data first!

Is it true that the historical data only go back as far as 2007? This range seems to be the same for every stock.

Atul said...

When do customize Hong Kong version of Google Finance will come out??

Casey Wise said...

I don't quite know how to ask this question and I'm kinda new to putting money in to the stock market. I just got a new iPhone and the Yahoo powered stock ticker tracks the Hang Seng as ^HSI. I want to get this in to my Google Gadget. I've looked through this blog and elsewhere and can't to find the answer to this question:

How do I add the Hang Seng to my Google Finance Portfolio Gadget?

George said...

I have been searching for Hang Seng Index, and landed here.

It's actually very important to have quotes for Hang Seng Index since these days lots of Hong Kong market trends are closely related to HSI. 20% - 30% trades by turnover are warrants/options and most are linked to HSI.

I hope google can provide HSI quotes. We don't need the full list of HS Indexes, but the basic HSI (may be also HS China Enterprise Index) will do.

I love google finance, and don't want to go elsewhere simply for the index update.

Tau said...

Desperately needing a stock screener for HK stocks that can filter a number of categories including ROE and other ratios.

I am wondering when will this be done? or does anyone know where i can get one from other sources?

jiajun said...

Seems there is no support at all for warrants. For example, 16394.hk or HKG:16394 returns nothing. Maybe because it can't handle 5 digits????

On another note, index seems to be working fine, .hsi gives the Hang Seng Index.

hi, I am wondering where the financial data comes from. Because I found there are big bias between your data and the companies' annual report.
