The US-China stock index performed well overnight, and the Hong Kong stock market re-entered the 24,000 mark, setting a three-year high.  The Hang Seng Index opened 392 points higher and continued to rise, rising as much as 816 points in the afternoon to 24,410 points. It rose 775 points or 3.29% for the day to 24,369 points. The Technology Index rose 310 points or 5.4% to 6,068 points.  The market turnover was HK$377.1 billion .


 The Hang Seng Index has re-crossed the 24,000 mark and is expected to challenge the 24,500 level in the future. The support below is at 23,500 points. Although the market still has momentum in the short term, we must pay attention to external tariff policies and mainland economic measures, which may cause market fluctuations.  Be careful of the so-called DeepSeek effect. In addition to leading technology stocks, data center and AI application stocks are also being hyped. Be aware that the share prices of related stocks are highly volatile and could explode at any time!


 European stock markets developed individually, with German stocks repeatedly setting new record closing highs, with the DAX index rising 1.47%, British stocks falling 0.83% and French stocks rising 0.29%.


 Trump has temporarily suspended additional tariffs on some goods from Canada and Mexico, but the news failed to calm Wall Street investors' concerns about the effects of the tariff policy, and U.S. stocks fell sharply again on Thursday.  After opening 158 points lower, the Dow Jones Industrial Average had already fallen by more than 600 points in early trading. It then narrowed the decline to only 36 points, reaching a high of 42,970 points, mainly due to expectations that the Trump administration would suspend the imposition of tariffs. However, it continued to test the intraday low in the final stage, slipping 625 points to a low of 42,381 points.  The S&P 500 fell as much as 2.24%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite Index's decline widened to 3.08%, hitting a low of 17,980 points.  The VIX volatility index, commonly known as the "fear index," once rose 18.2% to 25.92.


 At the close of U.S. stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was at 42,579, down 427 points, or 0.99%; the S&P 500 fell 104 points, or 1.78%, to 5,738; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 483 points, or 2.61%, to 18,069, more than 10% lower than its all-time closing high of 20,173 points on December 16 last year, and technically fell into an adjustment zone.


 The US dollar index fell 0.52% to 103.76. The European Central Bank cut interest rates by 0.25 percentage points as expected, but hinted that the rate cut action was nearing the end. The euro rose 0.59% to $1.0854; the yen rose 1.05% to 147.32 per dollar.  Bitcoin fell 5% to $88,145.

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 ...
