The Hang Seng Index opened 81 points higher at 26,442, then fluctuated, rising as high as 168 points to 26,529 and falling as low as 19 points to 26,342, closing up 126 points or 0.48% at 26,487. The Technology Index fell 4 points or 0.08% to 5,061. Total market turnover was HK$205.1 billion.


Global investment markets are heavily influenced by the US-Iran conflict. When news of setbacks in negotiations emerges, stock markets tend to correct. However, recent corrections in Hong Kong stocks have not been significant, and yesterday's rebound may reflect market expectations that the conflict can be resolved. Nevertheless, the rebound in oil prices last night, a direct indicator of the Middle East conflict, to over US$100 per barrel, will likely cause Hong Kong stocks to fall today, testing the key support level of the Hang Seng Index's 150-day moving average (26,101), and potentially testing the 25,500 level in the future.


European stocks fell across the board, with British, French, and German stocks declining by 1.05%, 1.14%, and 0.6%, respectively.


Latest US corporate earnings reports were generally positive, but international oil prices were impacted by news that Iran would not attend the second round of US-Iran talks.


US stocks initially rose on Tuesday, reaching the psychological level of $100 per barrel, before retreating. The Dow Jones Industrial Average rose more than 400 points before wiping out its gains, and the Nasdaq, dominated by technology stocks, hit a record high before falling. The Dow opened 224 points higher, surging as much as 406 points to a high of 49,848, before retreating as much as 393 points to a low of 49,046; the S&P 500 fell as much as 0.83%; and the Nasdaq rose 0.55% to 24,537 before also turning around and falling as much as 0.84%. After the US market closed, Trump announced an extension of the ceasefire.


U.S. stocks closed lower. The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 293 points, or 0.59%, to 49,149; the S&P 500 declined 45 points, or 0.63%, to 7,064; and the Nasdaq Composite dropped 144 points, or 0.59%, to 24,259.

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 ...
