Investors hoped for a de-escalation in the Middle East, and the Hang Seng Index opened 377 points higher at 24,759, maintaining its upward trend. The gains widened in the afternoon, rising as much as 694 points to 25,077, before closing up 681 points or 2.79% at 25,063. The Technology Index rose 118 points or 2.51% to 4,830. Total market turnover was HK$303 billion.

While the Middle East situation has temporarily eased, global stock markets remain volatile due to high oil prices and the looming threat of inflation. Although the Hang Seng Index climbed back above the key support level of 25,000 yesterday, it failed to return above the 250-day moving average (25,109), a key level for determining whether a market is bullish or bearish. Further declines are possible, potentially testing the recent low of 24,203.

European stock markets were mixed, with UK and French stocks rising 0.72% and 0.23% respectively, while German stocks fell 0.07%.

International oil prices rebounded, and renewed concerns about the private lending market put pressure on U.S. stocks on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 108 points lower and then extended its losses to as much as 438 points, hitting a low of 45,769. The S&P 500 fell as much as 0.85%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped as much as 1.07%.

At the close of trading in the U.S., the Dow Jones Industrial Average had fluctuated, giving back 84 points, or 0.18%, to close at 46,124; the S&P 500 fell 2 points, or 0.37%, to close at 6,556; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 184 points, or 0.84%, to close at 21,761.

The U.S. dollar index rose as much as 0.68% to 99.62, the euro fell 0.49% to $1.1558, and the yen fell 0.47% to 159.19 per dollar. Bitcoin retreated as much as 3.4% to $68,920.
