The external market continues to be strong, with the U.S. S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite Index closing at record highs last week. However, before there is a definite timetable for interest rate cuts, it is believed that the stimulation effect on Hong Kong stocks will be limited. As for the mainland stock market, which has clearly strengthened after the Lunar New Year, the Shanghai Composite Index has returned to above 3,000 points. Although the Hong Kong stock market has followed suit, it has rebounded, but there is obvious resistance near the 100-DMA (16,719). It is expected that it will need to consolidate first before it is expected to break through. It is expected to reach the 50-DMA (16,177) good defense.


 Hong Kong's property market is weak. At the request of many parties, the government announced the removal of all control policies that are unfavorable to buyers. However, this will not change the direction of falling property prices, because it depends on the general environment, interest rates and other factors. The rulers hope that in this way stimulating the property market to save the economy is a desperate move.
