US President Trump was dissatisfied with Iran's proposal, causing the Hang Seng Index to open 82 points lower at 26,310, and then fell 174 points to 26,219. However, it subsequently recovered, closing up 13 points or 0.05% at 26,406; the Tech Index rose 3 points or 0.07% to 5,106. Total market turnover was HK$288.4 billion.


Yesterday, the Hong Kong stock market saw little change throughout the day, with bulls and bears engaging in a tug-of-war within a high-level sideways trading range. Investors are holding their breath awaiting today's US-China trade talks in South Korea and Thursday's meeting between Trump and Xi. The market is expected to consolidate in the early part of this week. Currently, the 100-day moving average (26,288) provides support for the Hang Seng Index. The future direction depends on the earnings performance of major blue-chip stocks. If this leads to a revaluation of the overall market, the Hang Seng Index could successfully surpass the April 21 high of 26,529 points and potentially challenge the February 10 high of 27,397 points. UBS has maintained its year-to-date target for the Hang Seng Index at 30,000 points, indicating an upside of over 13% from the current level.
