At 8.20 am: Shanghai -0.10%; Shenzhen -0.74%; Tokyo +0.11%; Hong Kong -0.95%; Mumbai +0.13%.

Shein opens down 10 per cent but recovers on its debut day

Shares in the online fast-fashion giant Shein fell by around 10 per cent following its stock market debut in Hong Kong on Tuesday, after a long delay in the listing. They subsequently recovered, standing at -5.85 per cent on the Bloomberg platform at 7.55 Italian time: by 8.15, they were trading at -4.53 per cent.

Shein raised around 1.7 billion dollars, at a price of 48.56 Hong Kong dollars (6.19 US dollars) per share, in its initial public offering in Hong Kong, one of the city’s largest share issues this year. “Shein’s listing in Hong Kong marks a new starting point,” said Leigh Gui, Shein’s chief financial officer, in a brief speech during the listing ceremony.
