The recovery in sentiment for Hong Kong tech stocks is primarily driven by catalysts from news developments. On the evening of September 4, the ADP National Employment Report, known as "mini non-farm," showed that US ADP employment increased by 54,000 in August, below market expectations. Additionally, according to the latest data from the US Department of Labor, initial jobless claims for the week ending August 30 reached 237,000, higher than market expectations. The continued cooling of the US labor market has further reinforced expectations for Federal Reserve rate cuts. Furthermore, the market is focusing on the US non-farm payroll report to be released tonight, which will have a significant impact on the pace of rate cuts.

Hong Kong tech stocks are a highly interest rate-sensitive sector that typically exhibits stronger volatility and elasticity in a loose liquidity environment.
