Hong Kong stocks rebounded last Friday, ending a three-day losing streak and reclaiming their 10- and 20-day moving averages. Last week, Hong Kong stocks experienced increased volatility, with the Singapore Hong Kong Stock Index futures, commonly known as "black futures," trading dozens of points below the Hang Seng Index over the weekend. Analysts believe this is partly due to the recent surge in government bond yields in many countries, disrupting foreign investment and encouraging capital gains while Hong Kong stocks remain relatively high. The US Federal Reserve will hold its interest rate meeting next Tuesday and Wednesday. While the market generally believes a rate cut is imminent, the volatile geopolitical situation will inevitably lead to further profit-taking, potentially limiting the short-term gains of Hong Kong stocks. According to technical analysis, the market has only closed above 25,600 points four times this year. If the Hong Kong stock market fails to break through this resistance level in the short term, it is expected to remain in a range-bound pattern, trapped between 24,800 and 25,800 points.
European stock markets continued to weaken, with UK, French, and German stocks closing down 0.09%, 0.31%, and 0.73%, respectively.
