5. Opening Summary
The Hong Kong market kicked off Thursday on a cautious footing, with the Hang Seng Index essentially flat but managing to stay above 23,000, while the HSCEI inched higher and the Tech Index fell half a percent. Sentiment remains balanced between defensive rotation and profit-taking in recent outperformers.
Large-cap tech names were mixed to lower, dragging on the HSTECH gauge. Lenovo’s 2% slide weighed the most, joined by Bilibili and Meituan. By contrast, Baidu, Xiaomi and Kuaishou eked out modest gains, while JD.com was unchanged in early dealings.
On the stock level, biotech developers stole the spotlight: Genscript B-1K surged nearly 5%, with Beone Medicines and Biocytogen also advancing. At the other end, New Oriental tumbled over 8% after a pullback in education names, and AI newcomer Minimax fell more than 2%.
Sector rotation favoured pharmaceuticals and select consumer staples, as seen in Hansoh Pharma and Anjoy Food. Gold miners and insurers retreated despite a steady bullion price, suggesting some unwinding of defensive positions. No major IPO began trading this morning, keeping focus squarely on secondary-market movers.
