V. Closing Summary

On Oct 29, Hong Kong equities finished lower, with the HSI down 0.59%, the HSCEI off 0.46%, the HSCCI lower by 0.40%, and the HSTECH falling 2.84%. Turnover was HKD 189.45 billion, indicating active trading despite the weaker close. The broad market tone was soft, and the tech index was the weakest major benchmark.

In the HSTECH constituents provided by the tool, notable declines included HUA HONG GRACE at -7.71%, LENOVO GROUP at -6.90%, Z.AI at -6.91%, MINIMAX-W at -6.71%, and SMIC at -5.94%. A few names held up better, including MIDEA GROUP at +0.38% and XIAOMI-W at +0.23%, but they were not enough to offset the sector’s weakness.

Among stock-specific movers, the strongest gainers were OSHIDORI, INGENIC, EVEREST MED, and SUNMI TECH-W, all rising more than 4%. On the losing side, sharp declines were seen in ROBOTECHNIK, NEW ORIENTAL-S, FS.COM, KINWONG, and DELTON, each falling more than 12%.
