Hong Kong Protesters Rally Through the Night

Pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong continue as demonstrators demand electoral freedom from China. The protests, which began after the use of teargas, have grown, with tens of thousands shutting down central areas. Protesters, mainly students, are calling for the resignation of the city's chief executive. Police have responded with barricades and tear gas, following instructions from China. Economists warn of economic impacts, particularly on retail sales during China's Golden Week. Despite the unrest, the impact on Hong Kong equities is expected to be minimal, as most stocks are Chinese companies.
