The Hang Seng Index fell 1.1% to end at 25,328 on Wednesday, marking the lowest closing level since early April amid weakness in energy, technology services, and property stocks.

Notable losses were seen from Tencent Holdings (-1.1%), CNOOC (-2.2%), Xiaomi (-4.6%), Meituan (-1.4%), and Sun Hung Kai Properties (-2.2%). Partly offsetting the decline were gains in Lenovo Group (4.5%) and Semiconductor Manufacturing International (1.0%). On the data front, China's industrial profits surged 24.7%, the biggest gain since November 2023, after a 15.8% growth in March, despite domestic headwinds and heightened global uncertainty.

Hong Kong Shares End Flat Amid Geopolitical Jitters
The Hang Seng Index traded almost flat, closing around 25,600 on Tuesday after giving up earlier gains, as renewed concerns over Middle East supply risks were triggered by US military strikes in southern Iran. Sentiment remained cautious amid ongoing US-Iran peace negotiations, which investors continued to monitor for signs of de-escalation. However, Chinese equities listed in Hong Kong advanced after the holiday, with investors largely shrugging off Beijing’s latest crackdown on illicit cross-border stock trading and instead rotating into technology shares. Finance and technology services declined while electronic technology shares surged around 12.8%. Among notable laggards were Tencent Holdings (-0.5%), Meituan Class (-3.1%), Xiaomi Corporation (-0.8%). In contrast, Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation rose 5.95%, while Lenovo Group and Dongyue Group jumped 15.3% and 15.6%, respectively.

Hong Kong Stocks Edge Higher
The Hang Seng Index rose 60 points, or 0.2%, to around 25,660 on Tuesday, as optimism surrounding a potential US-Iran agreement earlier supported Asian equities and weighed on oil prices. Washington and Tehran were reportedly edging closer to a possible deal aimed at reducing tensions and restoring access through the Strait of Hormuz. Sentiment toward Xiaomi Corporation deteriorated after short bets on the company climbed to a record high amid concerns over rising memory costs and intensifying competition in China’s electric vehicle market. Financial and electronic technology stocks led the index higher, with notable gains in Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation and Lenovo Group, which surged 9.1% and 10.7%, respectively. Other movers were Xiaomi Corporation (0.4%), Kingboard Laminates (8.5%), and XPeng Inc. (4.7%). In contrast, the technology services sector fell about 0.7%, with Tencent Holdings down nearly 1%.
