Hong Kong's stock market was closed yesterday for Buddha's Birthday. Last Friday, Hong Kong stocks ended two days of declines. The Hang Seng Index opened 255 points higher, but gains narrowed to 96 points at one point, reaching a low of 25,483 points. However, it rallied significantly in the afternoon, rising as much as 345 points to a high of 25,732 points, before closing up 219 points or 0.86% at 25,606 points. The Technology Index rose 100 points or 2.11% to 4,869 points. Total market turnover was HK$281.2 billion. Northbound capital saw a net outflow of nearly HK$6.5 billion, marking the second consecutive day of outflows totaling nearly HK$12.6 billion. For the week, the market fell 356 points or 1.37%.


The Hang Seng Index's first line of defense is at 25,300 points. It is estimated that the 25,000 level can be held. This week, attention should be paid to whether it can rebound above the 250-day moving average (25,630), which would improve market sentiment and give Hong Kong stocks a chance to turn things around. 


European stocks rose across the board on Friday, with the UK, French, and German markets closing up 0.22%, 0.37%, and 1.15%, respectively.


US stock markets were closed yesterday (Monday, May 25, 2026) for Memorial Day.

For the week as a whole, the Dow Jones rose 2.1%, the S&P 500 climbed 0.9%, and the Nasdaq Composite gained 0.5%.


The overall market rose, driven by progress in Middle East peace negotiations and positive corporate earnings quarter results. The Dow Jones has seen positive performance for several consecutive weeks, and the S&P 500 has risen for the eighth consecutive week.


Over the past month: The S&P 500 has risen by approximately 5%.
