Cufflinks for Analyst in Hong Kong?

Just to get this straight, can someone tell me whether it's standard practice for analysts to wear shirts with cufflinks (per British) or no cufflinks (American). I'm from the US so I have no idea what standard practice is over there. Also, does it matter, at all?

Depends on the group/location. I heard in the UK, it's pretty common, but it's not so much in the US, although it's not necessarily frowned upon (once again, group dependent) as long as you don't wear ridiculously flashy cuff links. As for HK, I wouldn't be surprised if it was more British leaning in terms of style.
