The SOUTHERN HENDERSON TECHNOLOGY EXCHANGE-TRADED OPEN-END INDEX SECURITIES INVESTMENT FUND (QDII) (520570) rose nearly 4% during the morning trading session. As of the time of writing, the fund was up 3.29%, trading at 0.785 yuan, with a turnover of 958.316 million yuan. The positive movement is attributed to news that US President Trump stated on the 7th that he agreed to a two-week suspension of bombing and attacks on Iran, with Iran also accepting a ceasefire proposal put forward by Pakistan. This development in the Middle East has spurred a rally in global risk assets, with the Hang Seng Tech Index rising over 4% at one point in the morning. Public information indicates that the Southern Fund's Hang Seng Tech ETF (520570; with off-exchange feeder fund Class A 020988 and Class C 020989) closely tracks the Hang Seng Tech Index, which covers 30 large-cap, highly liquid technology companies listed in Hong Kong.
