I. Market Overview
The Hong Kong market ended the May 6 session on a firm footing. The benchmark Hang Seng Index (HSI) closed at 26,213.78, up 1.22% (+315.17 points), supported by strength in chipmakers, tobacco names and selected cyclical plays. The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index (HSCEI) gained 0.80% to 8,800.75, while the technology-heavy Hang Seng Tech Index (HSTECH) added 0.80% to 4,969.20. Turnover remained healthy at HKD 304.74 billion, indicating active participation across sectors.
Positive sentiment was underpinned by sharp moves in semiconductor and materials counters following upbeat earnings and global tech optimism. Meanwhile, defensives such as gold miners and tobacco groups also outperformed. Although a number of growth names posted modest pullbacks, the breadth of gainers outweighed losers, enabling all three major indices to finish higher for the day.
