The Hang Seng Index opened 134 points lower at 17,663 points. In the early morning, it fell 174 points to 17,624 points. In the afternoon, it turned from falling to rising. It rose 75 points or 0.43% to 17,874 points for the whole day, rising for two consecutive days; the technology index fell 1 point or 0.05%, reported at 3,501 points. Main board transaction volume was HK$91.92 billion. 


The U.S. stock market has recently rebounded to near historical highs. The wait-and-see atmosphere in the market is getting stronger, and the market situation has no clear direction. The three major U.S. stock indexes developed individually overnight. As for the Hong Kong stock market, it has continued to rebound since August and has risen above the extended downward trajectory in May. However, the transaction volume has not been consistent, reflecting a lack of momentum. If the Hang Seng Index fails to stabilize the 50-DMA (17,541), the market outlook may have a chance to decline again. It is expected that Hong Kong stocks are still not out of the crisis period, so it is not advisable to rush into the market.
