Shares of KE Holdings, a prominent housing transaction platform operator in China, surged 14.73% on Monday morning, propelled by a wave of optimism following the Chinese government's announcement of a comprehensive stimulus package aimed at reviving the struggling real estate sector and bolstering the nation's sluggish economic growth.
The People's Bank of China (PBOC) unveiled a series of measures designed to inject fresh momentum into the property market. These include a 50-basis-point cut in the reserve requirement ratio, further reductions in key interest rates, and a 0.5 percentage point slash in existing mortgage rates. The stimulus package sent ripples through the Hong Kong stock market, with the Hang Seng Mainland Properties Index and the Hang Seng Property Index surging by 1.9% and 1.4%, respectively.
As a leading player in the housing transaction space, KE Holdings stands to benefit significantly from the revitalized property market. The company's platform facilitates transactions between buyers and sellers, and the government's efforts to boost housing demand and ease financial burdens on homebuyers are expected to drive increased activity on KE Holdings' platform.
