Investment 25/2/2026
Influenced by the overnight decline in US stocks, the resumption of trading in mainland A-shares on Tuesday, and the return of northbound capital, the Hang Seng Index opened 168 points lower at 26,913, then fell as much as 601 points to a low of 26,480, closing down 491 points or 1.81% at 26,590. The Technology Index fell 114 points or 2.12% to 5,270. Main board turnover was HK$250.9 billion.
Although Hong Kong stocks fell sharply yesterday, the Hang Seng Index managed to hold above the 50-day moving average (26,457), with the 100-day moving average (26,322) expected to provide even stronger support. The current situation shouldn't be viewed too pessimistically. As long as the Hang Seng Index's short-term correction doesn't fall below the 100-day moving average, the outlook remains bullish. If it can fill the gap from the February 2nd decline at 27,100 to 27,384, there's a high chance it will challenge the January 29th high of 28,056.
