AGTECH HOLDINGS (08279) has surged more than 13% again, bringing its cumulative gains since the holiday period to over 200%. At the time of writing, the stock was up 13.64% to HK$0.75, with a turnover of HK$27.6694 million. The catalyst for the move is a strategic cooperation agreement between Alibaba-affiliated AGTECH and the Hong Kong Gold & Silver Exchange Society to jointly develop a digital gold trading platform. Dongwu Securities noted that AGTECH, leveraging the technological and traffic advantages of the Alibaba ecosystem, will assist in enhancing the digital trading infrastructure for the gold exchange. This initiative is expected to promote the large-scale development of digital gold trading, providing AGTECH with stable technical service revenue while increasing the profit flexibility of Alibaba's Hong Kong operations. Notably, Hong Kong Chief Executive John Lee stated that the SAR government is actively promoting Hong Kong as an international gold trading hub. He welcomed state-owned enterprises to participate in gold trading and related industrial chain development in Hong Kong, while utilizing the city's strengths as a platform for fundraising, professional services, risk management, and corporate treasury to expand and strengthen international business, thereby contributing to the high-quality development of the national financial sector.
