On the news front, since July, the risk of excessive trading concentration in the AI hardware sector has been increasing, prompting institutions to rebalance their portfolios towards undervalued assets. The Hang Seng Tech Index, which is at a low valuation level and supported by strong cash flows and significant share buybacks, is attracting capital inflows.
China Merchants Securities International noted that looking ahead to July, the valuation of the Hang Seng Tech Index is already at an attractive level, suggesting opportunities for gradual accumulation on dips. However, a sustained valuation recovery may depend on sequential improvements in fundamental performance.
