Hang Seng Soars, What's Behind This Rise?
Monday, 20 October 2025 09:55 WIB | HANGSENG |HANG SENG

The Hang Seng Index opened up more than 2.5% on Monday morning, as investor concerns about global trade tensions and banking sector stability eased. The main index rose 637 points to 25,884, led by gains in major technology stocks such as Alibaba (+4.9%), JD.com (+5%), and Tencent (+2.8%). This increase marked the return of strong buying interest in a sector previously pressured by negative global sentiment.

Financial stocks also boosted the market. Hong Kong Exchanges & Clearing shares rose 3%, while AIA Group and Ping An Insurance each rose more than 2%. These gains reflected growing investor confidence in the region's economic outlook and financial stability. The Hang Seng Tech Index also surged nearly 4%, while Hang Seng China Enterprises rose nearly 3%, reinforcing signs that market sentiment is beginning to turn positive. (az)
