The Hang Seng Index opened 43 points higher at 25,804, then briefly fell 111 points to 25,649 before recovering in the afternoon, rising as much as 230 points to 25,990.

The Hang Seng Index faces significant resistance at the 50-DMA (26,205). Lower trading volume reflects that institutional investors, having already reaped substantial profits this year, are seeking to preserve their gains and are adopting a more conservative approach. This situation may continue until the end of the year. Therefore, it is believed that Hong Kong stocks will struggle to break through resistance levels in the short term and will be unlikely to follow overseas markets upwards, instead maintaining a fluctuating pattern. Support is seen at the 25,200 level.
