5. Opening Summary

The Hang Seng Index kicked off the session with a 0.40% advance, tracking gains on Wall Street and supported by a moderate risk-on tone in regional markets. Strength in heavyweight tech names helped offset softness in select industrial and resources counters, keeping the broader benchmark within sight of the 26,000 mark.

Tech stocks set the early pace: Alibaba’s 3% pop topped blue-chip gainers after the e-commerce giant rallied alongside peers Baidu and Tencent, lifting the Hang Seng Tech Index 0.68%. Investors rotated into platform and AI leaders on expectations of resilient earnings momentum.

Individual stand-outs included dental device maker Angelalign and lidar specialist Hesai, both surging more than 3–8%, while Alibaba’s outsized move added over 30 points to the HSI on its own. Conversely, specialty AI play Z.AI and semiconductor equipment group ASMPT slid after a strong recent run, weighing on the chip complex.

Sector-wise, online healthcare, e-commerce and AI-related plays led early risers, whereas expressway operators and semiconductor names faced profit-taking. The IPO calendar remains light this week, keeping secondary-market themes—particularly tech catch-up trades—in focus as investors await fresh macro cues.
