Hang Seng Index Rises Then Falls Amid Tech Gains and Economic Concerns
The Hang Seng Index showed mixed performance over two days, rising 1% on October 6 supported by gains in technology stocks amid strong Wall Street rallies and AI investment interest, but falling 0.5% the next day due to rising oil prices, weak economic data, and declines in tech and biotech shares. While tech stocks led gains initially, pressure persisted on property and financial sectors, with economic indicators like Hong Kong's PMI signaling cautious sentiment despite China's policy support.
