Shares of Sunac China Holdings Ltd. (HKG:1918), a leading Chinese property developer, soared 13.84% on Thursday, driven by a rebound in Hong Kong's property market and new support measures from the local authorities.
The surge in Sunac's stock price came amid a broader rally in Hong Kong stocks, with the Hang Seng Index surging 3.61% on Friday. The positive sentiment was fueled by China's latest funding initiatives and encouraging economic data, including a 5.4% increase in industrial production and a 3.2% rise in retail sales in September.
One of the key drivers for Sunac's stock performance was the Hong Kong Monetary Authority's introduction of new measures aimed at encouraging property purchases. These measures were announced in response to declining demand and a drop in home prices in the city.
