V. Closing Summary

1. Hong Kong’s equity market ended the session higher, with the three headline indices all closing in positive territory except the HSCCI. The HSI reclaimed the 26,000 mark with a 0.48% increase, while the HSCEI gained 0.46%. The tech-focused HSTECH outshone peers, rising 0.96%, illustrating investors’ preference for growth names within the day’s trade.

2. Large-cap internet and platform companies provided the main uplift. Alibaba surged 7.01% after announcing its Qwen 3.8-MAX AI model. Tencent advanced 3.20%, and Baidu-SW added 3.78%. Gains in Kuaishou-W (+3.02%) and Bilibili-W (+1.42%) further bolstered sentiment, partially offsetting weakness in Xiaomi-W (−2.85%) and XPENG-W (−3.08%).

3. Sector rotation was evident. Paper-related and retail industries topped the leaderboard, each advancing more than 6%, while aluminum producers and leisure facility operators faced the steepest intraday pressure. In individual names, HQVT (+21.56%), DIAGENS-B (+19.64%), and ANGELALIGN (+17.96%) ranked among the strongest performers. On the downside, storage-linked plays such as MONTAGE TECH (−7.51%) and GIGADEVICE (−7.49%) weighed on sentiment in the semiconductor space.

4. Trading activity remained robust with turnover exceeding HKD 255 billion. Newsflow centred on technology innovation and commodity-related headlines; however, intraday price action showed selective focus on growth catalysts rather than broad-based risk-taking. New listings were limited, and no sizeable IPOs debuted during the session.
