The intensification of the trade war triggered a plunge in global stock markets, and Hong Kong stocks were sold off after the holiday. The Hang Seng Index opened 2,119 points lower at 20,730 points and then continued to fall, dropping 3,143 points to 19,706 points, the lowest in more than two months, marking the largest single-day point drop. It fell 3,021 points or 13.22% to 19,828 points throughout the day; the Technology Index fell 911 points or 17.16% to 4,401 points. Main board turnover increased to HK$ 620.8 billion .


Hong Kong stocks fell for three consecutive days, with the Hang Seng Index falling 14.6%, evaporating all gains this year and reaching its lowest level since January 23 this year; from its high in March, it has fallen by 5,000 points, or about 20%. Investors should pay attention to whether there is room for negotiation on tariffs. For the time being, there is still great uncertainty in the stock market and it is difficult to predict. Unless the Hang Seng Index can hold on to the 250-DMA (19,477) that separates the bull and bear markets, it will be confirmed to be in a technical bear market. Don’t misjudge the value of the 20,000-point level. Even stocks with a low correlation with the trade war are not yet suitable for buying.


European stock markets were sold off across the board, with UK, French and German stocks all closing more than 4% lower.


The trade war triggered a global stock market crash. U.S. stocks were extremely volatile on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 1,700 points and then fluctuated weakly, while the Nasdaq rose slightly. The global stock market once evaporated US$95,000 in market value. In the middle of the U.S. market, U.S. President Trump threatened that unless China lifted its retaliatory tariffs on the United States by Tuesday, he would impose a 50% tariff on China on Wednesday. The news exacerbated the decline of U.S. stocks. As investors sold in panic, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell for the third consecutive trading day. After opening 435 points lower, the decline widened to as much as 1,703 points, hitting a low of 36,611 points. Then it stabilized.


At the close of U.S. stocks, the Dow Jones Industrial Average was still down 349 points, or 0.91%, to 37,965 points; the S&P 500 fell 11 points, or 0.23%, to 5,062 points; and the Nasdaq rose 15 points, or 0.1%, to 15,603 points.

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 ...
