Can derivative warrants or CBBCs be traded during the 5-minute cooling-off period after the triggering of the VCM?

Since the affected underlying security or index is not suspended and continues to trade within a specified price limit during the 5-minute cooling off period after the triggering of the VCM, the derivative warrants and CBBCs can still be traded without any price limit. You can access information about VCM on the HKEX website:

However, investors should note that where events surrounding VCM causes abnormal trading behavior of the underlying leading to hedging difficulties, the liquidity provision obligations of issuers could be exempted. In this case, there may be a temporary absence of price quotes, a reduction in quote size, or a wider bid-ask spread during the 5-minute cooling-off period.
