Hong Kong went into lockdown on Tuesday as Super Typhoon Ragasa — the world’s strongest storm this year — approached.
Authorities urged residents to remain indoors, with most passenger flights suspended until Thursday.
Panic buying swept through the city, leaving supermarket shelves nearly empty as people stocked up on essentials in anticipation of two days of shop closures.
Despite this, HK markets will open. They no longer close regardless of the weather. AZs you'd expect, though, trade will thin out somewhat as folks have other concerns.
We wish out friends in HK well - stay safe!
