The Hang Seng Index opened 184 points lower at 25,708, then extended its losses, falling as much as 385 points to 25,508 before narrowing its losses to close down 232 points or 0.89% at 25,660. The Tech Index fell 38 points or 0.78% to 4,822. Total market turnover was HK$207.9 billion.


The failure of the US-Iran negotiations to reach a consensus was expected, and Hong Kong stocks did not react significantly this time. Although the Hang Seng Index fell, the gap created last Wednesday (25,254 to 25,668) still provides support. A rebound is expected today, testing the 100-day moving average (26,103) resistance. If it stabilizes above this level, an upward trend is expected; however, key oil prices need to fall back to US$90-95.


European stock markets were weak, with UK, French, and German stocks falling 0.17%, 0.29%, and 0.26% respectively.


The US formal blockade of the Strait of Hormuz caused oil prices to surge again, and US stocks initially fell significantly on Monday. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 198 points lower and then extended its losses to as much as 410 points, hitting a low of 47,505. However, it gradually recovered from the lows and eventually rose more than 300 points. The S&P 500 fell as much as 0.39%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite fell as much as 0.47%. All three major indexes ultimately closed close to their intraday highs, with the S&P 500 recovering all losses since the Iran nuclear deal.


At the close of trading, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 302 points, or 0.63%, to 48,219; the S&P 500 rose 69 points, or 1.02%, to 6,886; and the Nasdaq Composite rebounded 280 points, or 1.23%, to 23,183.


The US dollar index rose as much as 0.54% to 99.183, before falling 0.26% to 98.39; the euro rose 0.3% to $1.1761; the yen fell as much as 0.37% to 159.86 against the dollar before stabilizing. Bitcoin briefly rose as much as 4.2% to $73,495. Spot gold prices fell as much as 2.41%, hitting a low of $4,633.57 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 ...
