Hang Seng Flat but Sector Divergence Deepens Ahead of Stock Connect Reopening
š The Hang Seng was nearly flat around 23,950 points in midday trade, but the underlying market showed clear divergence. Property stocks fell about 0.9% and financials lost 0.7%, while the Hang Seng Tech Index gained 0.3%.
š» Technology and semiconductor names continued to outperform, with Hua Hong up around 4% and Kingboard Laminates rising 9%. Capital remained concentrated in stocks linked to the AI and chip theme.
š Liquidity was thinner than usual as mainland Chinese markets remained closed for Golden Week and Stock Connect was suspended. As a result, the small move in the Hang Seng may not fully reflect underlying supply and demand.
š October 8 will be the key date as mainland markets and Stock Connect reopen. The return of mainland flows should provide a clearer signal on whether the recent weakness was mainly liquidity-driven or reflected broader selling pressure.
