There is no real reason to support the rise in Hong Kong stocks a few days ago. Let's wait and see the trend of the futures index after settlement. It is not critical that the Hang Seng Index falls below 18,500 points. Instead, the important support level is 18,300 points. Pay attention to whether it can hold it today. However, it is expected that the market will reverse after settlement. Since the recent rise is purely speculation and has no real reason to support it, even if the capital inflow is mainly from hedge funds, it is short-term speculation. If there is no further substantial good news to support it, we are bearish on Hong Kong stocks in June. On the trend, if it crosses 18,300 points, the next support level is the 50-DMA (17,576).
