Hong Kong stocks rebounded on the last trading day of May. The Hang Seng Index opened 155 points higher at 25,161, rising as much as 307 points to 25,313, before closing up 176 points or 0.7% at 25,182. The Hang Seng Tech Index fell 4 points or 0.08% to 4,884. Turnover totaled HK$462 billion.


Due to the MSCI index portfolio changes taking effect, Hong Kong stock turnover surged 30% day-on-day to HK$462 billion, the strongest increase since October 13th last year. Northbound capital saw a net inflow of nearly HK$1.9 billion, marking two consecutive days of inflows totaling nearly HK$9.5 billion, although outflows for the month exceeded HK$3.5 billion. For the month as a whole, the Hang Seng Index fell 594 points or 2.3%, fulfilling the "May slump" prediction; however, the Hang Seng Tech Index rose for the second consecutive month, gaining a slight 12 points or 0.26% in May.


The market in May was dominated by a high-then-low pattern. Even if the Hang Seng Index manages to slightly surpass 25,000 points, it remains below various moving averages, indicating the market is still in a weak, oscillating state, attempting to test lower levels. Unless it can reclaim the important level of 25,356 today, the March 23 low of 24,024 will be the next target for bears, potentially testing the 22,000-23,000 point range. If the Hang Seng Index rebounds in the short term, there is already resistance at 25,500 points.


European stock markets were mixed, with the UK and French markets closing down 0.16% and 0.07% respectively, while the German market rose 0.05%.


U.S. stocks rallied on Friday, with all three major indices hitting record closing highs, as markets continued to anticipate an end to the war between the U.S. and Iran. The Dow Jones Industrial Average opened 104 points higher and then extended its gains to as much as 425 points, reaching a high of 51,094. The S&P 500 rose as much as 0.47% to 7,599, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite climbed as much as 0.66% to 27,094. New York crude oil futures fell 1.73% to settle at $87.36 a barrel, and Brent crude fell 1.77% to settle at $92.05.


At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 363 points, or 0.72%, to 51,032; the S&P 500 gained 16 points, or 0.22%, to 7,580; and the Nasdaq Composite gained 55 points, or 0.2%, to 26,972.


Last week, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.9%, the S&P 500 climbed 1.4% for the ninth consecutive week, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 2.4%. In May, the Dow rebounded 2.7%, the S&P 500 rose 5.3%, and the Nasdaq surged 8.3%.
