This week, Hong Kong stocks made a steady rebound. The $HSI(HSI)$ rose 2.28%, closing near the 20,000-point mark.
Positive Economic Data Drives Market Optimism
On Monday, Caixin released China’s November manufacturing PMI, which came in at 51.5, the highest in seven months and far exceeding analysts' expectations. This indicates that the manufacturing sector is continuing to expand, driven by economic stimulus policies.
With improving economic data, China plans to hold its annual closed-door Central Economic Work Conference next Wednesday to set economic targets and stimulus plans for 2025. The news sparked market speculation around more policy support, pushing stocks higher.
Additionally, many major Wall Street firms expect China’s central bank to make its largest rate cut in 10 years next year, aiming to boost economic growth and tackle deflationary pressures.
Market Reaction: A Broad-Based Rebound
Hong Kong and A-shares rebounded, with most sectors seeing gains.
Southbound capital continued to flow in, adding fuel to the rally.
Next week, China will release key data on CPI, PPI, and exports. If these figures exceed expectations, they could further lift market sentiment.
