The market focused on the development of the trade war, and Hong Kong stocks fell first and then rose. The Hang Seng Index opened 632 points lower at 19,494 points, and then fell 867 points to 19,260 points, a near three-month low. It then gradually recovered its lost ground, rising 313 points in the afternoon to 20,441 points. It closed up 136 points or 0.68% at 20,264 points for the day. The Technology Index rose 120 points or 2.64% to 4,689 points. The main board traded HK$412.3 billion .


The Hang Seng Index rose yesterday mainly because the central government intervened. The People's Bank of China conducted a 7-day reverse repurchase operation of RMB 118.9 billion, injecting over RMB 100 billion into the market. In addition, speculative investors also rushed into the stock market. Investors should not bet on a rebound. As the major powers are competing with each other and those who lack economic common sense are in power, the risks are unpredictable. Speculators use bets to control risks, and deploying small bets with derivatives is a good method.


European stock markets continued to be under pressure, with UK, French and German stocks falling 2.92%, 3.34% and 3% respectively.


Trump announced a 90-day suspension of new tariffs on some countries. The news stimulated a surge in U.S. stocks, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average rising by more than 3,100 points at one point. However, Trump immediately raised tariffs on Chinese imports to 125% on the grounds that "China lacks respect for the world market," but this did not prevent U.S. stocks from performing well.

The S&P 500 rose as much as 10%; and the Nasdaq jumped 12.67% at one point.


At the close of U.S. markets, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 2,962 points, or 7.87%, to 40,608 points; the S&P 500 rose 474 points, or 9.52%, to 5,456 points, the largest single-day increase since the 2008 financial tsunami; the Nasdaq rose 1,857 points, or 12.16%, to 17,124 points, the largest single-day increase since 2001.
