V. Closing Summary

Index performance and drivers. The Hong Kong market extended gains as the HSI +0.58% to 27,183.15, HSCEI +0.81% to 9,242.75, and HSTECH +0.62% to 5,451.03. A supportive macro backdrop and stock-specific catalysts in AI, semiconductors, autos, and healthcare helped lift sentiment. Turnover at HKD 234.04 billion suggested healthy participation. Sector breadth improved, with outsized advances in Publishing and IT services contrasting modest declines across utilities and logistics-related groups.

Large-cap tech: mixed leadership. Internet majors were a drag—TENCENT -1.61% and MEITUAN -2.47%—even as the tech index rose. Offsetting strength came from BABA +1.65%, JD-SW +1.95%, XIAOMI +1.08%, KUAISHOU +1.59%, SMIC +1.71%, and BYD COMPANY +2.41%. Intraday media highlighted Kuaishou’s Kling AI 3.0 launch (major upgrades in multimodal AI video creation) and a broader rally in Chinese AI names, consistent with gains in AI application and infrastructure plays through the session.

Notable movers. On the upside, content and AI-related names surged: CHINA LIT +15.41%, KNOWLEDGE ATLAS +14.81%, VOBILE GROUP +14.44%, and ILUVATAR COREX +12.40%. Healthcare innovators also rallied: BAO PHARMA-B +10.88%, EDGE MEDICAL-B +10.73%. On the downside, education and logistics-led names weakened: EAST BUY -9.49%, 51WORLD -8.70%, SF INTRA-CITY -4.69%, alongside a pullback in ZHAOJIN MINING -5.83%, echoing pressure in precious metals-linked counters. These moves aligned with sector prints, where Education Services and Cargo Ground Transportation underperformed.

Sector and IPO developments. Media reports during the day flagged a strong tape for biotech (broader group up, with names like ImmuneOnco, Zai Lab, Innovent, and Wuxi Bio gaining), reinforcing defensive growth interest. AI-related momentum broadened, with Knowledge Atlas among top movers and Kuaishou’s product cycle supporting engagement narratives. Consumer IP brand Pop Mart climbed on pre-earnings optimism tied to user scale and global expansion. New-economy and recently listed W shares (e.g., GEEKPLUS-W) also participated, highlighting continued appetite for robotics and automation exposure.
