Hong Kong stocks rallied nearly 4% on Wednesday after news broke that the city’s leader would formally withdraw controversial legislation that had sparked three months of unrest.

The Hang Seng index surged 3.9% to 26,523.23 on news reports that Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam was going to withdraw legislation that would have allowed suspects wanted on the Chinese mainland to be extradited from the city.
