The Hang Seng Index opened 448 points higher at 26,836, then rose as much as 456 points to a more than two-and-a-half-month high of 26,844. Its upward momentum subsequently moderated, and it briefly turned lower towards the close, ending the day with a slight gain of less than 1 point at 26,389. The Technology Index fell 17 points, or 0.34%, to 5,076. Total market turnover was HK$306.7 billion.


Yesterday, the index indeed broke through last Thursday's high and reached a two-and-a-half-month high, but profit-taking subsequently wiped out all gains. With improved sentiment in the Hong Kong stock market, the Hang Seng Index has the potential to catch up, and in the short term, it is more likely to remain within the 26,219 to 27,397 range.


European stock markets rose across the board, with the UK, French, and German indices rising 0.46%, 0.93%, and 1.32%, respectively.


Market sentiment was positive as hopes for a meeting between Chinese and US leaders Xi Jinping and Donald Trump could ease trade tensions between the two countries, leading to a continued rally in US stocks on Thursday. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq Composite both hit record intraday and closing highs, with the S&P 500 closing above 7,500 for the first time and the Dow Jones Industrial Average surpassing the 50,000 mark again.


The Dow Jones opened 150 points higher and then extended its gains to as much as 507 points, reaching a high of 50,200; the S&P 500 rose as much as 0.98% to 7,517; and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite rose as much as 1.15% to 26,707.


At the close, the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 370 points, or 0.75%, to 50,063; the S&P 500 rose 56 points, or 0.77%, to 7,501; and the Nasdaq Composite rose 232 points, or 0.88%, to 26,635.


The US dollar index rose 0.39% to 98.91; the euro fell 0.42% to $1.1668; and the yen dropped 0.34% to 158.4 against the dollar. Bitcoin fluctuated, rising 0.44% to $80,026.

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 ...
