The Hang Seng Index opened 155 points higher at 26,188, then rose as much as 230 points to 26,264 before retreating and briefly turning negative. It closed up 61 points, or 0.23%, at 26,095. The Technology Index fell 20 points, or 0.36%, to 5,624. Main board turnover was HK$178.2 billion.
The Hang Seng Index remained capped by the 50-DMA (26,228). Hong Kong stocks have been trading within a sideways range of 25,000 to slightly over 27,000 points for the past few months, with little chance of an upward breakout. This is because the positive impact of the interest rate cut may have already been priced in, and there is a lack of other positive news, coupled with no increase in market turnover. Therefore, the market is expected to continue trading within this range, and investors may reduce their positions as the index approaches 27,000.
