HK Opening Bell | Market Mixed At Open; Chipmakers Surge; Xiaomi Falls 6%

HK Opening Bell09:23

1. Market Overview

The Hong Kong market started Thursday on a mixed footing. The Hang Seng Index eased 0.08% to 25,837.72, while the China Enterprises Index slipped 0.24% to 8,623.70. In contrast, the tech-heavy Hang Seng Tech Index added 0.30% to 4,818.01, showing early resilience from growth counters even as the broader market trod water.

Strength in semiconductor and artificial-intelligence hardware names contrasted with modest softness in consumer and internet heavyweights. AI chipmakers raced ahead after a string of double-digit opening gains, whereas select consumer, education and e-commerce plays came under profit-taking pressure.

5. Opening Summary

The local market opened cautiously, with the Hang Seng Index dipping marginally while the Tech gauge edged higher, signalling a tentative risk-on tone even as mainland shares and defensive pockets stayed soft.

Big-cap technology names were a tale of two halves: Xiaomi’s 5.61% slide and weakness in JD-related counters weighed, but robust buying in Lenovo (+8.10%) and Baidu (+2.55%) helped the Hang Seng Tech Index cling to gains. Tencent traded slightly lower, while Alibaba firmed over 2%.

Chipmakers stole the spotlight. SMIC (+8.06%), HUA HONG GRACE (+14.98%) and Z.AI (+14.97%) all opened sharply higher, lifting semiconductor sentiment and pushing related stocks such as GIGADEVICE (+14.99%) and ZJ INNOLIGHT (+15.00%) to the top of the gainers list. In contrast, education giant New Oriental slid nearly 8%, leading early decliners.

Sector rotation remains evident: AI hardware, semiconductors and PC suppliers drew early inflows, while consumer staples and internet services saw profit-taking. No major new listings debuted this morning, but traders continue to monitor the primary pipeline as earnings season gathers pace.
