The Hang Seng Index opened lower by 63 points, or 0.24%, to 25,718, followed by the H-Share Index, which fell 0.34%, and the Technology Index, which fell 0.67%. This decline was driven by the decline in major technology stocks such as Tencent, Meituan, Xiaomi, JD.com, and Kuaishou, which all fell between 0.4% and 1%. Alibaba was the only major stock in this sector to remain stable.
In the financial sector, stock movements were more mixed. HSBC Holdings and AIA Group recorded small gains of 0.1% and 0.2%, respectively, while Ping An and the Hong Kong Stock Exchange weakened slightly. Cautious market sentiment has investors opting for a wait-and-see approach while monitoring the still-volatile economic and geopolitical developments. (az)
