Yong Hui Ting
SHARES of Hutchison Port Holdings Trust (HPH Trust) were trading in hefty volumes on Wednesday (Jul 27), as price slipped roughly 2.1 per cent or US$0.005 to US$0.235 as at 9.19 am. Some 2.1 million shares changed hands at the time.
The last time the mainboard-listed counter closed near this level was in June and no married deals were recorded according to ShareInvestor data.
This comes after the trust posted a decline in its H1 profits due to lower volumes of export/import cargoes handled in Hong Kong.
