Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index Recovers 25,000 Points on Shrinking Volume; Analysts Say Stabilization Needs Observation
Hong Kong's stock market saw a short-term recovery on September 21, with the Hang Seng Index and the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index both rising over 1%, while the Hang Seng Tech Index gained 0.4%. Large tech stocks strengthened in the afternoon, with Xiaomi up over 4%, Alibaba up 3%, and Tencent and Baidu rising over 2%. The biotech and AI hardware sectors also rallied, while gold and non-ferrous metal stocks declined. The Hang Seng Index closed above the 25,000-point mark, but total turnover fell to 202.731 billion Hong Kong dollars, suggesting the rebound's sustainability is uncertain. Short-selling amounted to 27.283 billion Hong Kong dollars, or 13.46% of turnover, near recent averages. CITIC Securities noted that with high interest rates, market divergence may widen in the final offensive window of the year, with AI potentially regaining dominance. Huatai Securities believes the market may stabilize and rebound short-term, but the duration and extent require observation, especially with US bond yields near 5% and oil prices and inflation determining the path. Huatai recommends holding dividend stocks as a base, increasing exposure to petrochemicals and gas, and continuing to hold innovative drug and CXO leaders.

Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index rose over 1% on September 21, closing above the 25,000-point mark on shrinking turnover of 202.73 billion Hong Kong dollars, as tech stocks led a broad afternoon rally. The Hang Seng Tech Index gained 0.4%. Short-selling amounted to 27.28 billion Hong Kong dollars, or 13.46% of turnover, near recent averages. Tencent, Alibaba, and Xiaomi were the top three short-sold stocks. Most sectors rose except gold and non-ferrous metals, which retreated from earlier safe-haven positions.

In mainland China, the A-share market also rose with over 4,500 stocks advancing, though trading volume shrank. Huatai Securities commented that while Hong Kong stocks may see short-term stabilization and rebound, the duration and extent remain uncertain given that U.S. Treasury yields are still near 5% and oil prices and inflation will determine the path forward. Huatai recommended holding dividend stocks as a base, reducing exposure to banks and coal, and increasing positions in petrochemicals and gas, while continuing to hold innovative drug and CXO leaders.
