HSBC Holdings Plc broke its silence on the protests roiling Hong Kong, calling for a peaceful resolution to differences in the city.

While local businesses and tycoons have spoken out about the unrest, HSBC, which derives more than half of its pretax profit from the city, is among the first global banks to publicly address the crisis.
