This week, a barrage of monumental boosts shook up the Hong Kong stock market, with the $HSI(HSI)$ rocketing 13% and soaring past the 20,000-point milestone!
On the news front, Tuesday witnessed a press conference hosted by the State Council Information Office, where Governor of the People's Bank of China unveiled three game-changing policies:
1.Cuts in both the required reserve ratio and policy interest rates, driving down market benchmark rates.
2.Reductions in existing mortgage rates and lowering the minimum down payment for second homes.
3.Establishment of a ¥500 billion swap facility for securities, funds, and insurance companies, alongside a ¥300 billion special re-lending program for share repurchases and increased holdings.
Thursday then brought a surprise economic focus from the Politburo Meeting, emphasizing enhanced countercyclical fiscal and monetary policy adjustments to meet annual economic and social development targets, especially propping up the stagnant real estate market!
These robust measures ignited a rallying call for economic stimulus, boosting investor sentiment as both domestic and foreign funds scrambled to refill their portfolios, sending Hong Kong and mainland A-shares soaring!
Sector-wise, real estate led the charge, while the previously buoyant telecom sector lagged behind.
Southbound funds saw net inflows of HK $2.39 billion this week, underscoring the dominant role of foreign investors in fueling the Hong Kong stock rally.
