The Hang Seng Index opened 22 points higher at 25,440, then dipped 30 points to a low of 25,387 before resuming its upward trend. It surged 246 points to 25,664 in the afternoon, bringing its total gain to 25,633 points, or 215 points, or 0.85%. The Tech Index rose 66 points, or 1.16%, to 5,753. Main Board turnover reached HK$286 billion.


Yesterday, the Hang Seng Index closed above 25,600 points, breaking its streak of only four trading days above this year. Despite negative rumors last week that the central government was seeking to cool the stock market, the Hang Seng Index managed to maintain its upward trajectory. However, the outlook remains sensitive to mainland authorities' stance on the stock market. A continued slow bull market would be positive for Hong Kong stocks. Whether the Hang Seng Index can break through the 26,000 mark in the short term depends on whether the US Federal Reserve will accelerate its pace of interest rate cuts. If so, mainland China's monetary policy will have greater flexibility, and Hong Kong interest rates are also expected to fall, which will benefit the Chinese and Hong Kong stock markets. Large-cap technology stocks are expected to benefit the most, with a particular preference for AI and robotics stocks.


European stock markets stabilized, with the UK, France, and Germany closing up 0.14%, 0.78%, and 0.89%, respectively. In Asian stock markets, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba announced his resignation, prompting investors to anticipate new economic stimulus measures from the new government. Japanese stocks rose on Monday, with the Topix index closing up 1.06% at 3,138 points, a new opening high. The Nikkei average rose 1.45% to 43,643 points.


With the Federal Reserve expected to cut interest rates at a faster pace, market focus has shifted to inflation data to be released this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fluctuated on Monday, opening 29 points higher before falling 123 points at one point, then rebounding as much as 141 points to a high of 45,542. The S&P 500 rose 0.42%, while the Nasdaq Composite climbed as much as 0.85%, reaching a peak of 21,885 and closing at a new record high.
