The Hang Seng rose 129 points or 0.5% to close at 25,667 on Thursday, extending strength for the fifth session while holding at its highest level since early November 2021. Gains were almost broad-based, led by financial and property stocks, as global equities continued their upward momentum.
Optimism mounted that the U.S. may pursue additional trade deals after securing several pacts earlier this week, including with Japan. In China, stocks rose ahead of next week's third round of trade talks with the U.S. in Stockholm, aimed at extending a tariff truce.
However, bullish momentum was curbed by growing tensions ahead of the forthcoming Fed policy meeting, as President Trump was set to visit the U.S. central bank later in the day. Meanwhile, China will release its H1 industrial profit data over the weekend following a slight drop in the prior period. Notable movers included Akeso Inc. (6.9%), China Hongqiao (6.3%), Horizon Robotics (5.2%), Citic Ltd. (5.6%), and Pop Mart Intl. (4.1%).
