Last week, the Hang Seng Index rebounded after testing the 25,145 level, indicating some defensive strength for Hong Kong stocks at this level. The Bank of Japan's interest rate hike and the release of US economic data helped alleviate market uncertainty. Furthermore, the recent rebound in US technology stocks from their lows is expected to drive a recovery in related sectors in Hong Kong. The Hang Seng Index is expected to challenge the 26,000 level in the short term; however, whether it can stabilize will depend on the performance of the mainland China stock market.
