# Hong Kong stock market closing | The Hang Seng Index rose by 0.56%, the internet sector strengthened, and Alibaba surged by 5.69%

**Market Overview**

▪ Today's Hong Kong stocks performed steadily, with all three major indices closing higher.

▪ The Hang Seng Index closed at 26,999.81 points, up 0.56%.

▪ The Hang Seng TECH Index closed at 5,908.26 points, up 0.66%.

▪ The State-Owned Enterprises Index closed at 9,315.56 points, up 0.32%.

**Sector Performance**

▪ The retail sector showed significant divergence today, with overall volatility. Alibaba -W surged 5.69%, with a transaction volume reaching HKD 40.786 billion. Qianwen AI's monthly active users exceeded 100 million within two months of launch, and the company announced a press conference for the Qianwen APP tomorrow at 10:00, themed "Witness how AI opens the era of business." The market has strong expectations for the commercialization of AI applications, attracting significant buying from southbound funds, recording 10 large transactions throughout the day. However, traditional retailer JD -SW fell 1.28%, and Miniso dropped 0.51%, indicating a divergence of funds within the sector, with more focus on leading stocks, remaining cautious about the retail sector's future.

▪ The internet content and information sector continued to strengthen, becoming the main focus of funds today. Kuaishou -W rose 4.46%, with its subsidiary Keling AI expected to exceed USD 20 million in monthly revenue by December 2025, corresponding to an annualized revenue run rate (ARR) of USD 240 million, with Citigroup reporting revenue slightly above expectations. Tencent Holdings rose 0.88%, and Baidu -SW increased by 1.90%, reflecting investors' optimistic sentiment towards content and traffic monetization companies, with a clear preference for growth and innovation sectors.

▪ The diversified banking sector showed sideways performance, with Hang Seng Bank closing flat on the last trading day, China Construction Bank slightly down 0.51%, and HSBC Holdings up 0.47%. The internal performance of the sector was mixed, with cautious fund flows, as institutions remained watchful of the stability of financial performance and interest margin trends, with limited short-term volatility.

**Macroeconomic Background**

▪ Recently, Hong Kong stocks have been influenced by fluctuations in economic data and the RMB exchange rate, with the market focusing on foreign exchange reserves, unemployment rates, and import-export performance.

▪ Official policy expectations and improvements in corporate earnings have become the core drivers of the market. Short-term volatility remains, and investors are advised to closely monitor macroeconomic and liquidity changes, actively adjusting positions to cope with uncertainties.

**Popular Stocks**

▪ Alibaba Health (241.HK) rose 18.96%, with a transaction volume of HKD 7.450 billion, as funds continued to flow into the pharmaceutical e-commerce sector, with investors chasing high growth and innovation, showing active turnover throughout the day.

▪ Lion Group Holdings (2562.HK) surged 50.19%, with a transaction volume of HKD 2.517 billion, as short-term funds were extremely active, with no significant company-level news, possibly driven by speculative sentiment, becoming today's top gainer, with rapid fund inflows, requiring attention to volatility risks.

▪ Zhipu (2513.HK) rose 18.81%, with a transaction volume of HKD 1.204 billion, with abundant fund flows and significantly increased attention, as the company collaborated with Huawei to open-source the first domestically produced chip training multimodal SOTA model, creating a strong atmosphere of fund enthusiasm, continuously attracting short-term active fund attention▪ Haotian International Construction Investment (1341.HK) rose by 19.35%, with a trading volume of HKD 416 million, driven by funds pushing for a structural increase during the session, with heavy market speculation.

▪ Zhongqing Shares (1855.HK) increased by 20.77%, with a trading volume of HKD 313 million, also lacking public news, as short-term hot money in the market pushed the stock price to jump, with flexible capital inflows and outflows, significantly increasing volatility.
