HK Stocks Extend Losses as Iran Conflict Clouds Outlook
The Hang Seng Index fell 0.4% to around 24,753 on Friday, extending losses from the previous session as geopolitical tensions in the Middle East continued to weigh on risk sentiment following a sharp selloff on Wall Street. Investors remained cautious despite President Donald Trump’s decision to extend the deadline for Iran to reach a deal by 10 days, as uncertainty persisted over the conflict’s direction. Sentiment weakened further after reports that the United States is considering deploying up to 10,000 additional troops to the Middle East, raising fears of prolonged instability. Oil prices remained volatile, with Brent crude fluctuating before stabilizing near $107 per barrel, still elevated amid supply disruptions linked to the Strait of Hormuz. The sustained surge in energy prices continued to fuel inflation concerns and dampen global risk appetite. Early losers included Meituan Class B (-0.6%), Tencent Holdings (-0.9%), AIA Group (-3.39%), and Techtronic Industries (-0.9%).

Hong Kong Stocks Drop Nearly 2%
The Hang Seng Index plunged about 1.9% to close at 24,856 on Thursday, giving back gains from the previous session, as conflicting signals on US-Iran developments unsettled markets. Washington suggested progress toward ending the conflict, while Tehran indicated it was only reviewing proposals and not engaging in direct talks. This uncertainty, alongside rising oil prices, reinforced a risk-off tone and extended foreign outflows from Asian equities. Technology stocks led the downturn, with the Hang Seng Tech Index falling around 2.2%, including Kuaishou Technology, which slumped about 13%. Other major laggards included Pop Mart International (-10.5%), Tencent Holdings (-2.0%), Meituan Class B (-3.7%), and Xiaomi Corporation (-0.3%).
