Shares of Ping An Insurance Group (2318) soared 8.72% on Thursday, October 10th, as Hong Kong stocks rebounded amid investor optimism surrounding potential economic stimulus measures from the Chinese government and a liquidity injection by the central bank.
The rally was fueled by hopes of further stimulus announcements at an upcoming press conference by the Chinese finance minister on Saturday. Investors anticipated the unveiling of additional measures to bolster the economy, boosting market sentiment.
Moreover, the People's Bank of China introduced a $70.7 billion swap facility, allowing financial institutions to exchange bonds and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for government bonds and central bank bills. This initiative, part of an 800 billion yuan funding mechanism, aimed to inject liquidity into the stock market, further supporting the rebound.
