Hong Kong stocks performed remarkably well on the first trading day of 2026. The Hang Seng Index opened 86 points higher at 25,717 and gradually extended its gains, reaching a high of 26,345, a rise of 715 points. It closed the day up 707 points, or 2.76%, at 26,338. The Technology Index rose 220 points, or 3.99%, to 5,736. Turnover on the main board was HK$140.8 billion.
The Hang Seng Index gained 519 points over the week, breaking through the midline of its sideways trading range and the 50-DMA (25,973) with a bullish candlestick. It is expected to challenge the resistance at the top of the sideways trading range at 27,381.
US stocks generally rose slightly on Friday, with the three major indices showing mixed performance. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 ended their previous four-day losing streak, while the Nasdaq saw a slight decline.
At the close of trading on the US stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 319 points, or 0.66%, to 48,382; the S&P 500 rose 12 points, or 0.19%, to 6,858; and the Nasdaq Composite fell 6 points, or 0.03%, to 23,235.
Key highlights included strong performance from semiconductor and chip stocks (such as Nvidia and Intel), which drove some of the gains, but a pullback in tech giants (such as Microsoft and Tesla) weighed on the Nasdaq's performance. Overall, this was the first trading day of 2026, and the market opened cautiously after a strong performance in 2025, ending a continuous downward trend at the end of the year.
