5. Opening Summary
Hong Kong equities started the day on a positive note, with the Hang Seng Index adding 0.76% and the Mainland tracker HSCEI up 0.85%. The tech-heavy Hang Seng Tech Index rose 1.25%, reflecting renewed buying in growth counters after a solid overnight performance by U.S. peers and an easing in global rate expectations.
Large-cap internet and hardware leaders underpinned the rally. Lenovo surged 8.82% on optimism around AI-PC demand, while Baidu, Alibaba and JD.com gained between 1.7% and 3.1%. Tencent and Xiaomi saw more modest advances, and Meituan traded flat.
Semiconductor plays lit up the leaderboard: NEXCHIP soared over 11%, and GigaDevice and SMIC also firmed. On the downside, AI developer Knowledge Atlas plunged almost 9%, while hydrogen-related Shougang Lanza and model provider MiniMax each slid sharply, highlighting rotation within the broader AI complex.
Sector-wise, chips, medical devices and hardware took the spotlight, echoing supportive mainland policy signals for advanced manufacturing. Energy shipping and select utilities lagged after recent strength. No major IPO pricings were on the docket, keeping focus squarely on secondary-market catalysts as traders gauge the sustainability of the rebound above 24,000 on the Hang Seng.
