Standard Chartered Group (2888.HK): After opening high and reaching a new high, it has pulled back; caution is needed for profit-taking at high levels

Standard Chartered Group opened higher yesterday and broke through a new high during the session, driving an overall rise in the banking sector. Benefiting from improved interest margins and a stabilizing global financial regulatory environment, there is an increased preference for leading banking enterprises within the sector. As the market approached the close, the momentum of main funds chasing higher prices weakened, and profit-taking intensified, leading to a slowdown in the net inflow trend throughout the day.
