香港股市再現斷崖式暴跌
A precipitous share price fall has wiped more than $20bn off the market capitalisation of a Hong Kong horse breeding-to-wine conglomerate, one day after a similarly steep sell-off in Hanergy Thin Film.
在漢能薄膜(HTF)斷崖式暴跌一天之後，一場類似的斷崖式拋售，令一家業務涵蓋馬球會到紅酒的集團市值蒸發了逾200億美元。Shares in Goldin’s two main business units fell as much as 60 per cent on Thursday, extending losses on Wednesday in a sell-off that has intensified questioning of how Hong Kong’s stock exchange is regulated.
週四，高銀集團(Goldin)兩個主要業務部門的股價暴跌60%，進一步擴大了週三的跌勢。這輪拋售令人們對香港股市監管方式的質疑大大增加。
The little-known Goldin Financial and Goldin Properties had previously enjoyed a meteoric rise on Hong Kong’s market. Goldin Financial rose 356 per cent in 2015 alone to a peak last Friday. Its peak market capitalisation was $30.8bn — or $258m for each of its 116 employees at the end of 2014.
此前，少有人知的高銀金融(Goldin Financial)和高銀地產(Goldin Properties)的股票曾在香港股市異軍突起。僅2015年，高銀金融就暴漲356%，到上週五達到峯值。2014年底，該公司最高市值曾高達308億美元，以該公司116名員工計算，平均每人的身家達到2.58億美元。
The listed Goldin subsidiaries each issued “unusual price and trading volume” announcements to the Hong Kong stock exchange, but said it was not aware of any reason for the losses.
高銀這兩家分公司分別在港交所(Hong Kong Exchange)發佈了“不尋常價格及成交量變動”聲明，不過均表示不知道導致此次暴跌的任何原因。The Securities and Futures Commission declined to comment on Goldin, following its policy of not commenting on individual stocks. The Hong Kong Exchange also did not comment.
遵照不評論個股的政策，香港證券及期貨事務監察委員會(Securities and Futures Commission,證監會)拒絕置評高銀股票。港交所也同樣沒有置評此事。Hong Kong does not limit single-day share price moves unlike some other exchanges, meaning stocks can theoretically fall to zero — or double — in a day. But unlike most other big markets, stocks can also be suspended for months or even years, effectively trapping investors.
與其他交易所不同，香港對單日股價的漲跌並無限制，這意味着香港股市的股票理論上能在一天之內跌到零，或者在一天之內暴漲一倍。不過，與其他多數大型股市不同，香港股市的股票能夠停牌數月甚至數年之久，從而在實質上將投資者套牢。
