Hong Kong stocks followed the rise of overseas stock markets.  The Hang Seng Index opened 168 points higher at 19,454 points, and then expanded its gain to 378 points, reaching 19,664 points. The upward trend then slowed down, and the index rose 236 points or 1.22% to 19,522 points throughout the day, rising for three consecutive trading days. It rose 53 points or 1.22% to 4,417 points.  The Main Board's turnover was HK$142.3 billion.


 The latest core inflation in the United States was lower than expected, which raised market expectations for future interest rate cuts. U.S. bond yields fell in response, and the three major U.S. stock indexes all soared overnight.  The warming external atmosphere also helped the Hong Kong stock market, and the Hang Seng Index once again reached the 19,600 point level.  However, as the Lunar New Year approaches, the mainland is currently in a policy window period, and it will be difficult for the Hong Kong stock market to break through the 20,000 mark. The Hang Seng Index is expected to fluctuate between 19,000 and 20,000 points. It will have to wait for more positive news before a breakthrough can be expected.


 European stocks performed well, with luxury stocks leading the gains. French stocks rose 2.14%, while British and German stocks rose 1.09% and 0.39% respectively.


 The latest U.S. corporate earnings performance was mixed. Among the heavyweight stocks, Tesla and Meta's closing share prices fell 3.4% and 0.9% respectively; Apple plummeted 4%.  US stocks retreated on Thursday.  After opening 68 points higher, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell back 139 points to a low of 43,081. The S&P 500 fell 0.32% and the Nasdaq fell as much as 0.9%.


 At the close of U.S. stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 43,153, down 68 points, or 0.16%; the S&P 500 fell 12 points, or 0.21%, to 5,937; and the Nasdaq fell 172 points, or 0.89%, to 19,338.


 The U.S. dollar index rose as much as 0.27% to 109.384, and then fell slightly.  The Bank of Japan is reportedly likely to raise interest rates next week. The yen once rose by 0.87% to a high of 155.11 per dollar.  The ECB's interest rate record showed that officials believed that if price trends were in line with expectations, the bank would further cut interest rates. The euro fell 0.27% to $1.0261 before stabilizing.

The Hang Seng Index opened 111 points lower at 25,814 and continued its downward trend, falling as much as 316 points in the afternoon to a low of 25,609. It closed down 245 points, or 0.94%, at 25,679. The Technology Index fell 112 points, or 2.28%, to 4,827. Total market turnover was HK$262.3 billion. It is anticipated that the US and Iran will not reach a negotiation agreement soon; furthermore, the liquidity drain and the upcoming May Day holiday have contributed to the two consecutive days of decline in Hong Kong stocks. The Hang Seng Index may test the support level of the 250-day moving average (25,404), while the 100-day moving average (26,098) will turn from support to resistance. Investors should not rush into the market now but should adopt a risk-averse strategy, waiting for the Hang Seng Index to potentially fall to the 24,409 level before considering buying on dips to position for a rebound. European stocks traded mixed, with the UK FTSE 100 rising slightly by 0.11%, whil...

The Hang Seng Index opened 64 points lower at 26,098, and the decline widened to 322 points at one point, reaching a low of 25,840. It closed down 248 points, or 0.94%, at 25,915. The Technology Index fell 98 points, or 1.98%, to 4,865. Total market turnover was HK$255.3 billion. The Hang Seng Index broke below the 16,000-point mark. However, due to the relatively lagging performance of Hong Kong stocks and stable market sentiment, a significant correction has not yet occurred. It is believed that the Hang Seng Index can hold the 250-day moving average (25,349), a key level for bull and bear markets, while facing strong resistance at 27,000 points. European stock markets showed mixed performance, with British and German stocks falling 0.19% and 0.16% respectively, while French stocks rose 0.87%. With the Middle East situation unresolved and investors awaiting the implementation of peace talks, international oil prices remained high, putting pressure on US stocks on Thursday. The Dow Jo...

The Hang Seng Index opened 181 points lower at 25,733, and once plunged 275 points to a low of 25,639, before recovering its losses, rising as much as 89 points to 26,004. It closed the day up 62 points, or 0.24%, at 25,978; the Tech Index rose 36 points, or 0.75%, to 4,902. Total market turnover was HK$236.7 billion. For the week, the Hang Seng Index fell 182 points, or 0.69%. Hong Kong stocks rebounded on Friday but failed to recover the 26,000-point mark. The Hang Seng Index broke through the descending channel earlier this month with an upward gap (25,254 to 25,668). Last week's short-term correction to this gap followed by a sharp rebound reflects the strong support at this level. Recent geopolitical tensions have fluctuated, causing Hong Kong stocks to trade in a volatile range. Without significant positive or negative news, they are expected to fluctuate between 25,500 and 26,300 points this week. If the market can break through and hold above 26,300 points, it may test the ...
