# Hong Kong Market Falls as China PMI Release Nears

> Hong Kong shares fell 168 points (0.6%) to 26,602 as traders awaited February PMI data. U.S. futures also slipped amid IMF warnings about the excessive U.S. current account deficit. Despite the city's projected operating surplus for 2026/27 and easing inflation at 1.1%, the tech index declined, with Nvidia's strong results failing to boost sentiment. Consumer stocks weakened due to concerns over post-holiday spending, with notable laggards including KE Holdings (-4.9%) and Galaxy Entertainment (-3.7%).

Hong Kong shares fell 168 points, or 0.6%, to 26,602 in Thursday morning trade, reversing the prior day’s gains as mainland stocks retreated and traders cautiously awaited February PMI data for February, due next week.

Meanwhile, U.S. futures slipped after Wall Street’s strength overnight, with sentiment dampened by IMF warnings that the U.S. current account deficit remains excessive, echoing concerns from the Trump administration.

Still, losses were limited after the city’s 2026/27 budget projected an earlier-than-expected operating surplus following three years of deficits.

Meanwhile, inflation in the city eased to 1.1% in January, pointing to a four-month low and slightly below forecasts.

The tech index drove the fall, with Nvidia’s strong results failing to lift sentiment.

Consumer stocks also weakened on worries about a post-holiday slowdown after Lunar New Year spending.

Early laggards included KE Holdings (-4.9%), Galaxy Ent. (-3.7%), Trip.com (-2.8%), and Kuaishou Tech (-2.7%).
