Some of the Hong Kong-listed companies that halted share trading Wednesday due to the exchange operator's technical problems said they will resume trading Thursday morning.

Blue chips Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing Ltd. (0388.HK), operator of the exchange, and banking giant HSBC Holdings PLC (HBC) said late Tuesday their Hong Kong-listed shares will resume trading at 0100 GMT.

Dah Sing Banking Group Ltd. (2356.HK) and Dah Sing Financial Holdings Ltd. (0440.HK) also said they will resume trading at the same time.

Cathay Pacific Airways Ltd. (0293.HK), another blue chip, China Resources Microelectronics Ltd. (0597.HK) and China Power International Development Ltd. (2380.HK) were also suspended from trade Wednesday.

The Hong Kong stock exchange Wednesday halted afternoon trading in seven listed companies that issued price-sensitive information during the midday break. Chief executive of the exchange operator, Charles Li, said he suspects that the technical problems involving the stock exchange's news website was the result of a "malicious attack" by hackers.
