5. Opening Summary
The Hang Seng Index plunged more than 500 points at the opening, with investors reacting to renewed global rate-hike worries and a soft lead from U.S. markets. The HSCEI and HSTECH also tracked lower, indicating widespread caution across blue chips and growth counters alike.
Large-cap tech names saw concerted selling. Baidu, JD.com and NetEase each fell over 2.5%, while Xiaomi, Alibaba and Tencent followed suit. Meituan and Kuaishou were also under pressure, suggesting no immediate respite for internet giants despite recent policy support headlines.
Among individual movers, recently listed SHEIN-W leapt nearly 8%, and Everbright Securities added more than 6% to top the gainers’ list, offering a rare bright spot. By contrast, JD Health tumbled almost 7% after an analyst downgrade, dragging peer JD Logistics lower. HSBC and Standard Chartered both slid over 5%, weighing heavily on the benchmark.
Sector rotation remains tentative: brokerage shares found early buyers, and property developer China Jinmao edged higher, while financials, healthcare platforms and selective consumer tech names continued to face profit-taking. No major IPOs debuted this morning, keeping attention on secondary-market price swings.
