HKEX regained the top spot from CME Group as the largest exchange group by market capitalisation, benefitting from China's strengthening supervision of Chinese firms listed offshore and the tightening of rules for cross-border data flows.
China's regulatory clampdown has made Hong Kong a more attractive listing venue for Chinese companies looking to avoid the new restrictions for listing in the United States.
The top 5 exchanges by market capitalisation at the end of July were:
| Exchange | Market Cap (USD bn) |
| Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing | 80.92 |
| CME Group | 75.94 |
| Intercontinental Exchange | 66.54 |
| London Stock Exchange Group | 37.78 |
| Deutsche Boerse | 30.63 |
The FTSE Mondo Visione Index gained 0.4% in July, with the index closing the month at 76,954.97 points, up from the June close of 76, 641.18. The index set a new closing all-time high of 78,483.33 on 22 July 2021.
The best performer by capital returns in US dollars was India's BSE, with a 38.5 per cent increase in share price from 1 July 2021 to 30 July 2021. The next best performer was the Bulgarian Stock Exchange with a 24.0 per cent increase, followed by Boursa Kuwait Securities with a 22.3 per cent increase over the same period.
The worst performer by capital returns in US dollars was Brazil's B3, with an 11.6 per cent decrease in share price from 1 July 2021 to 30 July 2021. Warsaw Stock Exchange was the second-worst performer with a 9.7 per cent decline, followed by Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange with a 9.2 per cent decrease over the same period.
Herbie Skeete, Managing Director, Mondo Visione and Co-founder of the Index said:
"HKEX is likely to benefit as China discourages technology companies from listing in the United States with more listings in Hong Kong."
