Kwok Si Chi: The market has once again fallen below both the 10-day and 250-day moving averages.

Vincent Kwok, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Society of Financial Analysts, noted that the broader market rose initially but then plunged sharply yesterday (11th). The Hang Seng Index opened slightly higher by 61 points at 25,998 in the morning session, subsequently advancing modestly to 26,060 before encountering resistance. As buying interest at elevated levels turned increasingly cautious and sporadic selling pressure began to mount, the market started to reverse downward. The Hang Seng Index then plunged as much as 290 points to 25,647 before stabilizing somewhat. As of now, the index has once again fallen below both the 10-day moving average (around 25,812) and the 250-day moving average (around 25,742). From a purely technical perspective, the market is not only showing increasing volatility...

Zheshang Securities Discusses Next-Stage Strategy for A-Shares: From 'K-Shaped' to 'Diamond-Shaped'

Zheshang Securities' 'Diamond Strategy' notes that as the AI narrative slope flattens, market microstructure deteriorates, and global liquidity faces disruptions, the extreme concentration of capital in a 'K-shaped' divergence is unlikely to persist. The market is now entering a transitional phase of oscillation characterized by 'convergence → rebound → re-convergence.' Strategically, the approach recommends shifting from concentration at the extremes toward strengthening positions in the middle ground, focusing on three main themes: tech differentiation, deep value, and distressed turnarounds.

Kwok Si Chi: The broader market edged closer to the 26,000 level amid thin trading volumes.

Guo Si Zhi, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Society of Technical Analysts, stated that the broader market continued its upward momentum from last Friday (7th) and advanced further yesterday (10th). The 10-day moving average (around 25,778 points) has now crossed above the 250-day moving average (around 25,739 points), forming another golden cross in terms of moving averages. However, due to prevailing market caution, the overall market remains range-bound with limited directional conviction. The Hang Seng Index has been trading within a narrow band. Yesterday morning, the index opened 137 points higher at 25,805 points, subsequently pulling back slightly to 25,720 points. Nonetheless, selling pressure remained subdued, and stabilizing buying interest gradually emerged.

Guo Jiayao: Concerns over interest rate hikes have eased slightly; Hong Kong stocks are expected to test the 26,000 level. Beijing's relaxation of property policies aims to stabilize market expectations.

Guo Jiayao, Business Development Director of Harbour Family Office, noted that U.S. equities declined on Monday (the 10th), as the market continued to monitor developments in the Middle East and the latest inflation data. Lacking clear direction, all three major indices closed with modest losses. The U.S. dollar remained volatile but generally firm, while the yield on the 10-year U.S. Treasury note rose to around 4.7%. Gold prices continued to rise, and oil prices also performed well. Hong Kong-listed depositary receipts traded broadly higher, suggesting a likely positive open for the local market in early trading. Mainland Chinese equities advanced yesterday, with the Shanghai Composite Index opening lower but closing 0.7% higher, as trading volumes in both the Shanghai and Shenzhen markets remained subdued. Hong Kong stocks showed strength, tracking gains overseas, with the index reclaiming its 250-day moving average.

CICC: How much momentum does the current rebound in Hong Kong equities have left?

In the first half of 2026, the weak performance of Hong Kong equities and consumer stocks stood in stark contrast to AI-driven extreme K-shaped divergence. Naturally, due to its composition, the broad-based Hong Kong equity index can itself be viewed as a 'large-cap consumer' proxy. Conversely, when tech stocks began to experience volatility in July, Hong Kong equities and the Hang Seng Tech Index rebounded—like two ends of a seesaw.

Kwok Si Chi: The broader market has fallen below both the 250-day and 10-day moving averages amid volatility.

Patrick Kwok, Vice Chairman of the Hong Kong Society of Analysts, stated that the market has now approached mid-August, and as of the time of writing, the market’s pattern for this month has so far been characterized by an initial rise followed by a decline. The Hang Seng Index has temporarily fallen from its intra-month high of 26,187 points on the 4th to an intra-month low of 25,389 points on the 6th, representing a current monthly range of 798 points. Firstly, this 798-point range remains relatively narrow and is insufficient to fulfill the typical requirements for a full month’s volatility. Moreover, it is unusual for both the monthly high and low to occur within just three trading days. Therefore, a significantly wider price swing is expected during the remaining trading days of the month, which would expand the range to meet typical monthly volatility expectations and further separate the intra-month high and low.
