Trading in shares of China Construction Bank is set to start on Thursday, following the Chinese lender’s $8bn (¬£4.5bn) initial public offering (IPO).
Traders warned that the bank’s debut on the Hong Kong market could be a muted one, after a drop in its shares on the unofficial “grey” market on Wednesday.
China Construction’s share listing is the world’s biggest this year, and the largest ever by a Chinese company.
Overseas investors have been keen to tap into China’s economic potential.
