With the mainland holiday approaching and northbound capital outflows expected to be suspended, market sentiment is cautious. Short-term support for the Hang Seng Index lies at its 20-DMA (26,135). If it falls below this level, it could test its 50-DMA (25,578). It is believed that after market consolidation, the index is still expected to challenge above 27,000 points this year.
