Investment 9/1/2026
The Hang Seng Index opened 156 points lower at 26,302 and continued its downward trend, falling as much as 498 points to 25,960. It closed down 309 points, or 1.17%, at 26,149. The Technology Index fell 60 points, or 1.04%, to 5,678. Main board turnover was HK$268.2 billion.
Profit-taking emerged after the Hang Seng Index rose above 26,000, dragging down the market. However, overall selling pressure was not too significant. The market remains optimistic about the prospects of different sectors this year, and this is currently just a technical adjustment. Furthermore, the market believes that fiscal and monetary policies will be introduced in mainland China to boost investment and consumption, which will help the market sentiment. Therefore, a deep correction is unlikely. The market will first test whether the 50-DMA (26,008) can hold. The next target is around 27,000. Investors may consider buying high-dividend telecommunications stocks and leading technology stocks during market downturns.
