The Hang Seng Index opened 171 points lower at 25,030 and continued its decline, falling 392 points to 24,808. The index ended the day down 202 points, or 0.8%, at 24,998. The Tech Index fell 53 points, or 0.93%, to 5,644. Main Board turnover was HK$391.4 billion.


As expected, the Hang Seng Index fell below its 20-DMA (25,137) at the opening yesterday and closed below 25,000. Hong Kong stocks encountered resistance at high levels, and increased trading volume in a bearish market suggests potential profit-taking. Signs of overbought mainland Chinese stocks could also drag down Hong Kong stocks. We expect Hong Kong stocks to consolidate ahead of the US interest rate cut in mid-September, but the overall market outlook is not bad. As long as it holds above the 50-DMA  (24,744), there is no need to worry about the market outlook. Investors may consider taking profits, but not completely liquidating their positions. The market is expected to continue to test the 26,000 mark. The Hong Kong stock market is expected to continue its upward trend in the second half of the year, with the Hang Seng Index potentially testing 27,500 points, and in an optimistic scenario, 30,800.


However, if the market weakens and the Hang Seng Index loses support below its 50-DMA, there is a chance it will initially adjust to 23,375 points. This is because: Based on the golden ratio, the Hang Seng Index has risen from its April low of 19,260 to its recent high of 25,918, a cumulative increase of 6,658 points. A 0.382-fold adjustment would reach 23,375.


European stock markets showed mixed results, with the UK and German stock markets falling 0.42% and 0.03%, respectively, while the French stock market rose 0.24%.


Data showed the US economy remained resilient, but corporate earnings were mixed. US stocks rallied Thursday, ultimately rebounding. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened slightly higher by 15 points before falling as much as 122 points, then rebounded 117 points to a high of 45,682. The S&P 500 rose 0.41% to 6,508, while the Nasdaq Composite rose 0.71%.


At the close of US markets, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 71 points to 45,636, a record high for the day. The S&P 500 rose 20 points, or 0.32%, to 6,501, reaching both an intraday and closing high, trading above 6,500 for the first time. The Nasdaq Composite rose 115 points, or 0.53%, to 21,705, also nearing a record high.


The US dollar index fell 0.4% to 97.836, while the Japanese yen rose 0.41% to 146.81 per dollar. Bitcoin fell 2.1% to a low of $110,932.
