Kwok Sze Chi: The broader market has once again dipped slightly below its 10-day and 20-day moving averages.

Kwok Sze Chi, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Stock Analysts Association, stated that the broader market exhibited renewed volatility yesterday (the 7th). The Hang Seng Index initially edged up by 2 points to 25,652 in the morning session before further climbing slightly to 25,664, where it faced resistance. Due to cautious buying sentiment and persistent fragmented selling pressure, the broader market began to fluctuate downward. The Hang Seng Index only stabilized after breaking below the 25,362 level, by which point the market had retraced sharply by 288 points. Fortunately, support buying gradually emerged at lower levels, prompting a rebound that pushed the Hang Seng Index back above the 25,400 mark.

CICC Analysis of Hong Kong Stocks’ “Smart Money”: Southbound Investors Prefer Adding Positions at Lower Levels, While Active Foreign Capital Is a Lagging Indicator; Structural Opportunities Warrant Greater Attention at Present

Source: CICC Insights Since 2026, Hong Kong equities have continued to diverge in performance from neighboring markets, including A-shares, exhibiting a typical "seesaw" effect. In the first half of the year, as South Korean equities and the technology sector of A-shares strengthened continuously, Hong Kong stocks underperformed and experienced capital outflows. Following the correction in technology stocks in late June, Hong Kong equities rebounded and saw capital inflows. This phenomenon is not unique to this year; similar patterns were observed in 2025 and even earlier. Domestically, strong momentum in Hong Kong stocks during the first half of 2025 coincided with sustained southbound capital inflows, which slowed in the second half as A-shares gained strength. Internationally, overseas investors also adjust their allocations in response to changing market attractiveness in countries such as Japan, India, and South Korea.
