Hong Kong stocks failed to break the 25,000-point mark on the last trading day of March and the first quarter. The Hang Seng Index opened 67 points higher at 24,818, rising as much as 237 points to a high of 24,988, before encountering resistance and falling back, dropping as much as 191 points to 24,559. It recovered its losses in the late session, closing up 37 points or 0.15% at 24,788. The Technology Index fell 40 points or 0.85% to 4,649. Total market turnover was HK$255.7 billion.


The Hang Seng Index initially rose in the first quarter of this year before declining, accumulating a drop of 842 points or 3.28% for the quarter; March alone saw a cumulative drop of 1,842 points or 6.91%, marking the worst start to a quarter in four years.


The situation in the Middle East, lower oil prices, and a weaker US dollar were factors that boosted the stock market. The Hang Seng Index is expected to recover the 25,000-point mark today. If it further returns above the 250-day moving average (25,128), a key level separating bull and bear markets, it could avoid further significant declines.


European stocks performed well, with British, French, and German stocks rising 0.48%, 0.57%, and 0.52% respectively.


US President Trump reportedly intends to end military action against Iran before the Strait of Hormuz reopens, and Iranian President Pezechzian also signaled a ceasefire, stating that Tehran is willing to end the war only if it is assured of no further attacks. This news fueled market hopes for a potential ceasefire, causing oil prices to fall from their highs and US Treasury yields to soften, leading to a sharp rise in US stocks on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 325 points higher and then extended its gains to as much as 1,167 points, reaching a high of 46,383. The S&P 500 and the tech-heavy Nasdaq also closed near their daily highs, with the Nasdaq surging over 3.8%.


U.S. stocks closed higher. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 1,125 points, or 2.49%, to 46,341; the S&P 500 gained 184 points, or 2.91%, to 6,528; and the Nasdaq Composite jumped 795 points, or 3.83%, to 21,590.


The U.S. dollar index fell as much as 0.7% to 99.81, while the yen rose 0.67% to 158.66 against the dollar. The euro rose 0.9% to $1.1567. Bitcoin fluctuated but rose 3.9% to $68,495. Spot gold prices rose as much as 3.9%, reaching a high of $4,686.9 per ounce.

The Hang Seng Index opened 111 points lower at 25,814 and continued its downward trend, falling as much as 316 points in the afternoon to a low of 25,609. It closed down 245 points, or 0.94%, at 25,679. The Technology Index fell 112 points, or 2.28%, to 4,827. Total market turnover was HK$262.3 billion. It is anticipated that the US and Iran will not reach a negotiation agreement soon; furthermore, the liquidity drain and the upcoming May Day holiday have contributed to the two consecutive days of decline in Hong Kong stocks. The Hang Seng Index may test the support level of the 250-day moving average (25,404), while the 100-day moving average (26,098) will turn from support to resistance. Investors should not rush into the market now but should adopt a risk-averse strategy, waiting for the Hang Seng Index to potentially fall to the 24,409 level before considering buying on dips to position for a rebound. European stocks traded mixed, with the UK FTSE 100 rising slightly by 0.11%, whil...

The Hang Seng Index opened 64 points lower at 26,098, and the decline widened to 322 points at one point, reaching a low of 25,840. It closed down 248 points, or 0.94%, at 25,915. The Technology Index fell 98 points, or 1.98%, to 4,865. Total market turnover was HK$255.3 billion. The Hang Seng Index broke below the 16,000-point mark. However, due to the relatively lagging performance of Hong Kong stocks and stable market sentiment, a significant correction has not yet occurred. It is believed that the Hang Seng Index can hold the 250-day moving average (25,349), a key level for bull and bear markets, while facing strong resistance at 27,000 points. European stock markets showed mixed performance, with British and German stocks falling 0.19% and 0.16% respectively, while French stocks rose 0.87%. With the Middle East situation unresolved and investors awaiting the implementation of peace talks, international oil prices remained high, putting pressure on US stocks on Thursday. The Dow Jo...

The Hang Seng Index opened 181 points lower at 25,733, and once plunged 275 points to a low of 25,639, before recovering its losses, rising as much as 89 points to 26,004. It closed the day up 62 points, or 0.24%, at 25,978; the Tech Index rose 36 points, or 0.75%, to 4,902. Total market turnover was HK$236.7 billion. For the week, the Hang Seng Index fell 182 points, or 0.69%. Hong Kong stocks rebounded on Friday but failed to recover the 26,000-point mark. The Hang Seng Index broke through the descending channel earlier this month with an upward gap (25,254 to 25,668). Last week's short-term correction to this gap followed by a sharp rebound reflects the strong support at this level. Recent geopolitical tensions have fluctuated, causing Hong Kong stocks to trade in a volatile range. Without significant positive or negative news, they are expected to fluctuate between 25,500 and 26,300 points this week. If the market can break through and hold above 26,300 points, it may test the ...
