Funds became cautious, focusing on the upcoming macroeconomic data **Market Overview** ▪ On March 2, Hong Kong stocks faced collective pressure during the trading session, with all three major indices experiencing significant pullbacks, failing to maintain the strong momentum from the end of last month. As of the time of writing, market risk aversion has increased, as evidenced by the following: ▪ The Hang Seng Index fell by 2.01% during the session, reporting 26,096.5 points, significantly retreating from the peak reached on February 27, facing short-term profit-taking pressure. ▪ The Hang Seng Tech Index led the market decline, down 2.63% at 5,002.78 points, with technology heavyweight stocks generally declining, bringing the index close to the 5,000-point mark. ▪ The China Enterprises Index also adjusted, dropping 1.62% during the session to 8,715.8 points. Overall, after a series of upward movements in the previous period, Hong Kong stocks entered a phase of consolidation today, with reduced willingness for funds to chase higher prices. **Sector Performance** ▪ The retail sector retreated alongside the broader market, suppressed by macro sentiment and risk aversion factors, showing a downward trend. Alibaba -W fell 3.99%, with a transaction volume of HKD 12.814 billion. Despite the company's ongoing AI initiatives, the stock price declined due to market sentiment and cautious capital ahead of the Two Sessions. JD.com -SW dropped 2.97%, with funds seeking safety before the earnings report. Miniso fell 3.39%, as the market worries about the overseas consumption environment. ▪ The internet content and information sector generally declined, dragged down by macro liquidity and growth concerns. Baidu -SW saw a significant drop of 4.12%, although it was favored by institutions, it fell back due to the broader market's influence. Kuaishou -W decreased by 3.58%, with market concerns about competition and growth sustainability. Tencent Holdings was relatively resilient, slightly down 0.68%, with southbound capital inflows indicating long-term value recognition. ▪ The oil and gas exploration and production sector surged against the trend, showing a strong upward trajectory. Geopolitical tensions triggered oil prices, with risk-averse funds driving the sector to soar. Leading player CNOOC rose by 4.50%, with a transaction volume of HKD 8.689 billion, benefiting from the spike in oil prices. CHK OIL surged 137.29%, driven by speculative trading and risk aversion sentiment. United Energy Group jumped 23.08%, with its high elasticity characteristics attracting significant capital interest. **Macroeconomic Background** ▪ As we approach March 2026, the sentiment in the Hong Kong stock market is dominated by expectations of macro data. Investors are currently highly focused on the upcoming release of Hong Kong's retail sales and year-on-year import and export figures to assess the resilience of local consumption recovery and the external trade environment. ▪ Additionally, the HSBC Manufacturing PMI, as a leading indicator of economic prosperity, will directly impact capital risk appetite and the short-term volatility center of the Hang Seng Index. **Popular Stocks** ▪ CHK OIL (632.HK) rose 137.29%, with a transaction volume of HKD 57.8904 million. There are no specific recent news, but as an oil and gas stock, it was driven by panic over oil supply caused by international geopolitical crises, experiencing speculative trading that doubled its stock price in a single day. ▪ BQ Oilfield Services (2178.HK) increased by 92.96%, with a transaction volume of HKD 17.8097 million. The recent escalation of geopolitical tensions in the Middle East has raised market concerns about potential disruptions to crude oil supply, boosting expectations for international oil prices. As an oilfield service and equipment provider, the company benefited from the industry's recovery and speculation over rising oil prices, leading to a significant surge in its stock price due to capital interest in a single day ▪ Ximei Resources (9936.HK) rose 26.03%, with a transaction volume of HKD 54.5035 million. The company released its annual performance announcement, showing a net profit of RMB 124 million for the year, a year-on-year increase of 42.5%.
