Investment 11/3/2026
Hoping for a de-escalation of the Middle East conflict, the Hang Seng Index opened 331 points higher at 25,740 and maintained its upward trend, closing at its intraday high of 25,959, up 551 points or 2.17%. The Technology Index rose 118 points or 2.4% to 5,060. Main board turnover was HK$330.9 billion.
If the Hang Seng Index can quickly recover the 100-day moving average (26,242), the current downward wave will be complete, and the market will likely retest the 27,000 level. Since August last year, the Hang Seng Index has been trading within the Bollinger Bands (25,000 to 27,000), with 25,000 points repeatedly proving to be a key support level. Downside potential within this range is limited, but there is at least a potential upside of over 1,000 points, making the overall investment risk-reward ratio still quite good.
Asian stock markets stabilized, with South Korea's KOSPI index and Japan's Nikkei index closing up 5.35% and 2.88% respectively.
European stocks rallied, with British, French, and German stocks rising 1.59%, 1.79%, and 2.39%, respectively.
International oil prices continued to fluctuate wildly. After wiping out about 30% of its gains on Monday, the market rallied on hopes that an end to the Iraq War would help restore oil exports from the Persian Gulf region. New York crude oil futures plunged as much as 19% on Tuesday, hitting a low of $76.73 per barrel, before closing at $83.45, still down 11.94%. Brent crude oil futures also fell 11.28%, closing at $87.80.
