    Government studies 7-day cooling-off period for prepaid consumption; Tang Ka-piu worried yoga studios may not be covered

    The government is studying regulation of prepaid arrangements for fitness and beauty services, including a statutory 7-day cooling-off period for consumption contracts. Legislative Council member Tang Ka-piu said that after the yoga sports centre "Hotstone Yoga" closed all its branches, yoga studios do not fall under the beauty industry, and whether they constitute fitness services is also disputed. He expressed concern that the new regulation may not apply, and hoped that after the authorities establish a principal legal framework, yoga studios and industries such as home renovation would be included by way of schedules.

    Lo Chun-hong: US stocks show divergence at highs, a warning of outward strength masking internal weakness

    Lo Chun-hong said the S&P 500 index is near its 52-week high, but fewer and fewer stocks are maintaining strength, with clear divergence in market internals, presenting a warning of outward strength masking internal weakness. The S&P 500 is calculated on a market-capitalisation-weighted basis, so a small number of large heavyweight stocks can keep rising and push the index higher even as many constituent stocks fall, meaning record highs in the index do not necessarily represent an equally strong overall market.

    New World returns 11 SKIES; UBS and Citi see it as positive

    UBS and Citi assessed the agreement for New World to return 11 SKIES to the Airport Authority as positive news. UBS said that with the shadow cast by 11 SKIES over New World lifted, it expected the arrangement to pave the way for New World's rights issue and share placement; the bank said New World's existing share base is relatively small, and if it fails to raise new shares, this would limit the Airport Authority's ability to exercise its share purchase option to buy New World shares held by Chow Tai Fook Enterprises.
