 The US consumer price index last month was lower than expected, reducing market concerns about inflation.  However, more tariff measures were announced at the same time, dragging the Dow Jones Industrial Average down overnight.  The external environment continued to fluctuate, and the Hong Kong stock market fell for five consecutive days. The Hang Seng Index fell by 907 points, marking the longest decline this year.  However, the Hong Kong stock market has shown resilience recently. Although the Hang Seng Index has temporarily fallen below the 24,000 mark, there is little pressure for further sharp declines.  In particular, a number of leading technology stocks are still popular among investors and are believed to support the overall market performance. The Hang Seng Index is expected to fluctuate mainly around the 20-DMA (23,340) in the short term.
