Ping An Insurance (Group) Co. (2318 HK): The company may be ousted as a cornerstone investor in China Minsheng Banking Corp.’s Hong Kong initial public offering, the Hong Kong Economic Journal reported, citing unidentified people.

Ping An added 1.4 percent to HK$71.15.
Ssangyong Motor Co. (003620 KS): The South Korean automaker under bankruptcy protection failed to win enough backing from creditors for its turnaround plan in a meeting held in Seoul.
