The dollar weakened, while the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield held at 4.25%. Gold prices advanced, and oil prices rose initially before pulling back.

The Hang Seng Index gained 0.31% to open at 26,442.29, the Hang Seng Tech Index rose 0.53%, and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index increased by 0.42%. Among sectors, technology and internet stocks generally advanced, with Baidu up more than 1%. Lithium battery shares also opened higher, as Tianqi Lithium surged over 8%.
