The Hang Seng Index surged 13% in July—does this rally in Hong Kong stocks represent a temporary rebound or a major trend reversal? Two key thresholds will determine the market’s upside potential.
Hong Kong equities are indeed emerging from multiple sources of pressure, but whether they can embark on a genuine, sustained bull market hinges on overcoming two critical thresholds: improvement in corporate earnings and easing of U.S. dollar liquidity. The former determines the trend of the bull market, while the latter dictates its magnitude and resilience.

Morgan Stanley recommends reweighting into Hong Kong equities and has raised its Hang Seng Index target to 28,400 points. The core rationale lies in improving earnings expectations (easing price competition in the internet sector) and enhanced liquidity (significant underweight positioning by foreign investors and short-covering). The firm is most bullish on the internet sector and believes that IPO lock-up expiration pressures are limited, suggesting investors capitalize on the event-driven opportunity presented by the August adjustment to Stock Connect.
