The Hang Seng Index fell 1.1%, or 206 points, to close at 25,653 on Tuesday, as investors turned risk-averse after hopes for a near-term reopening of the Strait of Hormuz faded, pushing oil prices higher and reviving inflation concerns ahead of the US July CPI report later in the day. The decline also tracked overnight weakness on Wall Street, where semiconductor stocks led losses. Tech stocks came under renewed pressure, offsetting support from continued interest in Chinese equities and corporate earnings. Techtronic Industries remained in focus after the power-tool maker reported first-half profit above market expectations, with gross margin rising to a record 42.9%. Investors also watched Creality following its Hong Kong listing, as it seeks to move toward higher-value, easier-to-use products, while robust IPO activity continued to underpin market sentiment. Notable laggards included Tencent (-2.2%), Z.AI Co. (-4.8%), Kingboard Laminates (-2.1%), Xiaomi (-3.5%), and Meituan (-1.0%).
