香港股市在周五早盘上涨240点,涨幅接近1.0%,至24734点,结束了两天的跌幅,此前标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克指数在美国零售销售强劲、盈利乐观和人工智能持续乐观的情况下隔夜创下历史新高。恒生指数触及四个月高点,有望连续第二周上涨,迄今上涨2.5%。在美国总统特朗普软化对中国的言论,提振了达成贸易协议的希望后,市场情绪也有所上升。所有板块均上涨,科技、消费和金融板块领涨,因为内地市场的上涨鼓励了新的购买。早期表现最好的包括汉生制药(3.2%)、农夫山泉(3.1%)、中国虹桥集团(2.9%)和招金矿业(1.7%)。然而,数据显示香港失业率在截至6月的三个月内保持在3.5%的两年高位,限制了上涨。在中国央行在5月份将利率维持在历史最低水平以在关税风险下支持经济之后,在下周中国7月LPR定盘之前,人们也更加谨慎。
Hong Kong shares jumped 240 points or near 1.0%, to 24,734 in early trade on Friday, snapping two-day losses after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq closed at record highs overnight amid strong U.S. retail sales, upbeat earnings, and continued AI optimism. The Hang Seng hit a four-month top and is on track for a second straight weekly gain, up 2.5% so far. Sentiment was also boosted after U.S. President Trump softened his rhetoric toward China, boosting hopes for a trade deal. All sectors advanced, led by tech, consumer, and financials, as gains in mainland markets encouraged fresh buying. Early top performers included Hansoh Pharma (3.2%), Nongfu Spring (3.1%), China Hongqiao Group (2.9%), and Zhaojin Mining (1.7%). However, upside was capped by data showing Hong Kong’s jobless rate held at a two-year high of 3.5% for the three months to June. Caution also grew ahead of China’s July LPR fixing next week, after the PBoC held rates at record lows in May to support the economy amid tariff risks.
