After a prolonged correction, risks in Hong Kong's technology sector have significantly eased. Recently, driven by expectations of a Fed rate cut, AI advancements, and earnings reports, the sector has shown sustained momentum. Wind data shows that the popular Hang Seng Tech ETF (513130) recorded daily turnovers of RMB 6.789 billion, RMB 9.796 billion, and RMB 7.06 billion over the past three trading sessions (11/20-11/24). By midday today, its turnover exceeded RMB 3.4 billion.
On the monetary policy front, a Fed governor suggested a potential December rate cut on November 24, 2025, boosting market expectations. Easing liquidity constraints, a key drag on Hong Kong stocks, could unlock new growth opportunities.
Positive industry developments include upcoming Q3 earnings reports from major internet firms, with AI investments and applications under scrutiny. On November 24, Qwen App's public beta surpassed 10 million downloads in a week, outpacing ChatGPT, Sora, and DeepSeek. Separately, a consumer electronics giant's founder invested over HKD 100 million in company shares, signaling confidence.
