Sharp Decline Across the Board! Hong Kong Hard Tech Stocks Plunge After Surge, HK Information Technology ETF (159131) Drops 1.5% with Strong Inflows

Deep News03-19

Today (March 19), both A-shares and Hong Kong stocks experienced a synchronized decline. Hong Kong's hard tech sector saw a sharp correction following yesterday's significant rally. The market's only* Hong Kong Information Technology ETF (159131) opened lower and maintained a volatile trend, with its current price down 1.5%. Notably, intraday data showed net subscriptions of 15 million units, indicating clear investor appetite for buying on the dip.

On the news front, U.S. stock markets encountered a severe sell-off on Wednesday. Higher-than-expected wholesale inflation data, combined with cautious remarks from Fed Chair Powell regarding the inflation outlook, delivered a dual blow, sharply escalating investor concerns about persistent inflation.

Galaxy Securities analysis suggests that the resilience of Hong Kong stocks stems from their status as a valuation洼地 (low-valuation area). Low valuations have attracted safe-haven capital seeking certainty. Foreign capital is choosing to enter the Hong Kong market largely due to the perceived valuation gap between Hong Kong stocks and other major global markets (such as U.S. and Japanese stocks). The low valuations of Hong Kong stocks are often accompanied by high dividend yields, which are highly attractive to safe-haven funds seeking stable cash flows.

Looking ahead over the next six months, the discretionary consumption sector is currently the area within the Hong Kong stock market with the strongest earnings growth and profitability, while the financial sector offers ample safety margins. The technology sector has demonstrated dual characteristics during this period of volatility.

Targeting the Super Cycle in Hong Kong Chip Stocks! The HK Information Technology ETF (159131) is the market's first ETF focused on the "Hong Kong chip" industry chain and offers T+0 trading. Its underlying index is composed of "70% hardware + 30% software," heavily weighted towards Hong Kong-listed "semiconductor + electronics + computer software" companies. It covers 45 Hong Kong-listed hard tech companies, including SMIC with a weight of 14.07%, Xiaomi Group-W with 12.41%, and Hua Hong Semiconductor with 7.47%. It excludes large-cap internet enterprises like Alibaba, Tencent, and Meituan, offering higher focus and making it easier to capture the AI hard tech trend in Hong Kong stocks.
