The Hang Seng Index opened 123 points lower at 24,442 and continued its decline, falling as much as 358 points to 24,207. It closed down 157 points, or 0.64%, at 24,407. The Technology Index fell 44 points, or 0.94%, to 4,724. Total market turnover was HK$320.5 billion.


This marks the sixth consecutive trading day of decline for Hong Kong stocks. Yesterday, the index tested the March 23 low of 24,203. The next support level is the March 23 low of 24,024. If this level is breached, the index is expected to test the 22,000-23,000 range. The continued decline in Hong Kong stocks is mainly due to the valuation correction of US artificial intelligence (AI) related stocks, coupled with the escalation of tensions between the US and Iran following the downing of a US helicopter, making the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz uncertain.


In European stock markets, French and German stocks closed down 0.51% and 0.97% respectively, while British stocks rose 0.27%.


The US Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose 4.2% year-on-year in May, up from 3.8% in April, pushing overall inflation to a three-year high.
