Investment 4/3/2026
The Hang Seng Index opened 130 points higher at 26,190, rising as much as 159 points to 26,218, before falling as much as 332 points to 25,727 in the afternoon. It closed down 291 points, or 1.12%, at 25,768. The Technology Index fell 112 points, or 2.26%, to 4,876. Main board turnover was HK$370.5 billion.
Since the Hang Seng Index had already broken below its 50-day moving average (26,527), and with the neckline of the "head and shoulders" pattern at 26,250 breached, the first technical support level is estimated to be around 25,100, the level from the end of last year. However, based on measured declines, it may need to test 24,600. The impact of the Middle East conflict on Hong Kong stocks has not yet been fully reflected.
European stock markets collapsed across the board, with the UK, French, and German markets falling 2.75%, 3.46%, and 3.44%, respectively.
Growing market concerns that the current Middle East conflict would not end quickly, coupled with soaring international oil prices that sharply reduced expectations of interest rate cuts by central banks worldwide, led to a further sell-off in global stock markets on Tuesday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average plunged more than 1,000 points in early trading, and the VIX volatility index, commonly known as the "fear index," jumped as much as 31.3% to 28.15. A stronger dollar triggered a sell-off in precious metals.
The Dow Jones opened 411 points lower and then widened its losses to a maximum of 1,277 points, reaching a low of 47,626 points. It later narrowed its losses to as low as 209 points, reaching a high of 48,695 points. The S&P 500 fell as much as 2.49%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite dropped as much as 2.74%.
At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average retreated 403 points, or 0.83%, to 48,501 points; the S&P 500 fell 64 points, or 0.94%, to 6,816 points; and the Nasdaq Composite declined 232 points, or 1.02%, to 22,516 points.
