NetEase (NTES-S) shares surged 6.43% in pre-market trading on Monday, as the tech giant led a broader rally in Hong Kong's technology sector. The significant uptick in NetEase's stock price comes amidst a strong opening for Hong Kong's major indexes, with tech stocks showing particular strength.

The surge in NetEase's shares was part of a wider tech rally in Hong Kong, with the Hang Seng Tech Index jumping 3.90%. Other major tech players also saw substantial gains, with Baidu and JD.com rising over 5%, while Alibaba, Bilibili, and Kuaishou increased by more than 4%. This collective surge in tech stocks suggests a renewed investor confidence in the sector.

The positive sentiment in Hong Kong's market appears to be driven by easing concerns over U.S.-China trade tensions. Recent statements from U.S. President Trump indicating that 100% tariffs on China are unsustainable have sparked optimism among investors. Additionally, hopes for a productive meeting between U.S. and Chinese leaders to address trade issues have further bolstered market confidence, contributing to the overall bullish trend observed in Hong Kong's tech sector, with NetEase emerging as a standout performer.
