周四,恒生指数下跌285点,跌幅1.1%,收于25058点,在广泛下跌的情况下连续第三个交易日下跌。该指数追踪了大陆股市的下跌,此前有报道称中国正在考虑为股市降温,包括放宽一些卖空限制。这一消息引发了获利回吐,此前8月份中国股市在创纪录的保证金融资和大量交易的推动下飙升了10%,引发了过热担忧。科技指数下跌1.9%,受Cambricon股价暴跌拖累,原因是担心与内地市场即将进行的指数再平衡相关的资金外流。房地产、消费者和金融股也因持续的全球财政担忧而下跌。本月晚些时候,在美国就业岗位空缺数据疲软后,美联储降息的预期在一定程度上缓解了损失。主要下跌股包括地平线机器人(-6.9%)、中芯国际(-6.4%)、快手科技(-3.1%)、创新生物(-6.6%)、汉索制药(-4.4%)和股份有限公司(-4.2%)。
The Hang Seng dropped 285 points or 1.1% to close at 25,058 on Thursday, falling for the third session amid broad-based losses. The index tracked declines in mainland shares after a report that China is mulling cooling measures for the stock market, including easing some short-selling curbs. The news prompted profit-taking after a 10% surge in Chinese stocks in August, fueled by record margin financing and heavy trading, which raised overheating concerns. The tech index slumped 1.9%, dragged by a plunge in shares of Cambricon, due to worries over fund outflows tied to an upcoming index rebalancing in mainland markets. Property, consumer, and financial shares also dipped on persistent global fiscal concerns. Losses were partly cushioned by expectations of a Fed rate cut later this month following weaker U.S. job openings data. Major decliners included Horizon Robotics (-6.9%), SMIC (-6.4%), Kuaishou Tech (-3.1%), Innovent Biologics (-6.9%), Hansoh Pharma (-4.4%), and Akeso Inc. (-4.2%).
