On August 4, CM BANK fell 3.03% in regular trading, trading at HK$49.4/share, with turnover of HK$397 million. The decline came as mainland bank stocks extended their pullback since the start of August, with the entire diversified banking sector under broad selling pressure.

Market commentary from CITIC Securities noted that A-share volatility is expected to remain elevated over the coming two weeks, with banking sector relative returns likely to weaken in the short term. However, the firm maintained that the sector's long-term absolute return outlook remains intact, supported by stable operating fundamentals and improving second-quarter net interest margins.

Within the Diversified Banks sector, the overall sector was under pressure. Among individual stocks, HSBC Holdings down 0.54%, CCB down 2.99%, ICBC down 2.6%, Bank of China down 2.46%, BOC Hong Kong down 1.55%.
