SCMP reports:

  • Super Typhoon Usagi, believed to be the most powerful storm on Earth in 2013, was on Friday heading across the South China Sea on course for a direct hit on Hong Kong.
  • Danger is the typhoon hits HK on Sunday

Hong Kong markets are closed for a holiday today.

What a way to have a long weekend.

Best of luck to all ForexLive participants in Hong Kong (and to everyone in HK! And Taiwan, The Philippines and China by the look of this graphic)
