I. Market Overview
Hong Kong equities closed lower, with the three major indices retreating as weakness in large-cap internet and platform names outweighed strength in AI hardware and utilities. The Hang Seng Index (HSI) fell 0.86% to 27,032.54, while the HSCEI declined 1.00% to 9,175.18. The most pressure came from growth proxies: the Hang Seng Tech Index dropped 1.65% to 5,408.98, reflecting broad declines across major platform stocks. Market breadth was mixed, with outsized gains clustered in AI infrastructure, semiconductors and power equipment, while consumers, gaming/entertainment and parts of healthcare lagged. Turnover remained healthy at HKD 238,705,043,722, suggesting ongoing rotation rather than an outright risk-off reversal.
Intraday media highlighted robust moves in storage and semiconductor names—helped by upbeat AI-memory sentiment—alongside notable AI software rallies. Conversely, selected entertainment and consumer names underperformed. Overall tone was cautious but rotational.

V. Closing Summary
1. The Hong Kong market eased on rotation and profit-taking in platform-heavy names. By the close, the HSI fell 0.86% to 27,032.54, the HSCEI slipped 1.00% to 9,175.18, and the HSTECH underperformed at -1.65% to 5,408.98. Turnover remained solid at HKD 238.71 billion, indicating active sector rotation rather than a liquidity-driven drawdown. Investors rotated into AI hardware, semiconductors, and power equipment, while trimming exposure to internet platforms, gaming/entertainment, and selected consumer shares.
2. Large-cap tech was the main drag. Tencent (-2.28%), Meituan (-4.50%), NetEase (-4.10%), JD.com (-1.28%), Alibaba (-0.94%), and Xiaomi (-1.56%) all fell, pulling the tech index lower. Against the grain, AI-adjacent names such as SenseTime (+6.77%) and Midea Group (+1.34%) outperformed. Media flow during the session pointed to ongoing skepticism toward platform monetization and game content momentum, while AI infrastructure demand remained a supportive counter-theme.
3. Notable movers featured outsized strength in AI and memory/storage plays, as highlighted by intraday reports that “storage shares advanced” and Hong Kong semiconductor stocks rose. GigaDevice (+20.95%) surged, while Iluvatar CoreX (+21.45%), Unisound (+16.77%), and 51World (+14.61%) rallied on AI enthusiasm. Knowledge Atlas (+28.68%) jumped after announcing a price increase for its GLM Coding Plan and unveiling its new GLM-5 model, citing robust demand. On the downside, entertainment and consumer names lagged, with NetEase Music (-9.62%) sliding and Budweiser APAC (-5.21%) retreating; selected healthcare names (Tigermed -5.32%, Keymed Bio -5.59%) also fell.
4. Sectorally, leadership came from Heavy Electrical Equipment (+5.84%), Passenger Ground Transportation (+5.04%), and Internet Services & Infrastructure (+4.77%), consistent with the day’s AI hardware and infrastructure theme. Laggards included Diversified Chemicals (-4.61%), Publishing (-3.72%), and Interactive Home Entertainment (-3.47%). New-listing activity was muted; the session’s narrative centered on AI-related price actions and sector rotation rather than IPO-driven flows.
