5. Opening Summary

The early session is characterized by a narrowly mixed index tape: the HSI hovers near 24,200 with modest downside pressure, the HSCEI is flat, and the Hang Seng Tech Index continues to grind higher, reflecting selective risk appetite.

Within large-cap tech, strength is concentrated in Alibaba (+2.4%) after solid platform data, and in foundry names such as SMIC (+2.4%) and Hua Hong Grace (+3.7%). Tencent is little changed, while Meituan and Baidu see minor profit-taking.

Gainers are dominated by semiconductor-linked plays and thematic products tracking Korean chipmakers, while DTECH plunges over 13% and Insilico retreats nearly 7% to headline the losers. Gold miners are broadly offered as bullion prices ease.

Sector rotation is evident: chipmakers and AI software attract fresh inflows, whereas insurers and precious-metal miners lag. No major IPO priced this morning, leaving thematic news flow and stock-specific catalysts to steer direction in the opening hours.
