The Hong Kong Stock Exchange opened Monday in a mixed pattern, with benchmark Hang Seng index moves subdued as investors balanced geopolitical risk against earnings optimism.
Market participants in Hong Kong entered the week with cautious optimism, maintaining a sideways trading bias as futures pointed to a muted open. Early indications suggested foreign and local institutional flows were selective, focusing on defensive sectors such as utilities and consumer staples, while heavyweight technology names showed divergent performance. The pre-opening auction and subsequent morning session reflected indecision, with broader Asian momentum unable to provide a clear directional impetus ahead of the week’s economic releases and policy developments.
