The index steadied above the 25,000-point mark today, sweeping away the previous adjustment trend and rising on heavy volume to return to recent high levels. ▪ The Hang Seng Tech Index closed at 4885.87 points, a significant increase of 4.42%, outperforming the three major indices. ▪ The Hang Seng China Enterprises Index closed at 8656.31 points, up 2.35%. The index reversed its continuous downward trend, opening up short-term upside potential. The heavyweight large financial and central-government-backed sectors played a significant role in driving the market. **Sector Performance** ▪ The technology hardware and communication equipment sectors performed exceptionally well during trading, becoming the strongest direction in the morning session. ILUVATAR COREX saw an intraday increase of 29.48%, TIME INTERCON rose by 18.47%, FIT HON TENG increased by 15.70%, and NANFANG COMM experienced a short-term surge of over 24%. The sector, led by its key players, received substantial capital inflows, reflecting investors' continued optimism toward technology and semiconductor-related industries, and heightened market expectations for the prosperity of domestic AI companies and the optical communication industry chain. ▪ The optical communication sector led the gains in the Hong Kong stock market. YOFC rose by 15.56%, with continuous capital inflow. The recovery in industry chain demand and favorable industry policies are considered catalysts for the sector's strength. The rebound in downstream demand has allowed sub-sectors to remain active against the trend in a weak market, driving related stocks to rise collectively. ▪ Other traditional industries and weighted sectors showed sluggish performance, lacking short-term upward momentum. Capital flow exhibited a structural orientation, reinforcing the thematic investment character of the market. **Macroeconomic Background** ▪ Recently, investors in the Hong Kong stock market have been focusing on macroeconomic indicators such as the annual import rate to gauge external demand and economic vitality. Changes in imports and exports, policy trends, and fluctuations in the RMB exchange rate have a direct impact on market sector structure and trading activity. During periods of intense market volatility, investors tend to favor sub-sectors that benefit significantly from policies and exhibit high industrial prosperity. **Featured Stocks** ▪ ILUVATAR COREX (9903.HK) saw an intraday increase of 29.48%, with a turnover of HK$342 million. The company benefited from the strong performance of the technology and semiconductor sectors, with market expectations for domestic AI companies driving continuous capital inflow, making it the most closely watched leader. ▪ YOFC (6869.HK) rose by 15.56%, with a turnover of HK$470 million. Sector activity drove capital inflows into optical communication-related stocks. Policy shifts and a recovery in downstream demand are the main catalysts for this stock price surge. From the perspective of capital flow, market prosperity continues to rise. ▪ TIME INTERCON (1729.HK) increased by 18.47%, with a turnover of HK$680 million. Benefiting from the overall activity in the technology hardware sector, the company's trading volume significantly increased. However, the lack of independent major positive news in the short term suggests a strong element of capital speculation. ▪ FIT HON TENG (6088.HK) rose by 15.70%, with a turnover of HK$508 million. As a beneficiary of optical communication and AI concepts, the company received significant investor attention, with warming industry sentiment boosting its short-term trend. ▪ NANFANG COMM (1617.HK) experienced a short-term surge of 26.88%. The company benefited from the collective strength of the small and medium-cap optical communication sector, driven primarily by capital, as investors remain optimistic about growth potential in the sub-sector. **Market Turnover TOP10** ▪ BABA-W (9988.HK) Latest price HK$123.80, up 4.47%, turnover HK$919 million ▪ TENCENT (700.HK) Latest price HK$504.50, up 3.13%, turnover HK$885 million ▪ XIAOMI-W (1810.HK) Latest price HK$32.66, up 5.76%, turnover HK$502 million ▪ YOFC (6869.HK) Latest price HK$218.40, up 15.56%, turnover HK$470 million ▪ MEITUAN (3690.HK) Latest price HK$88.15, up 9.84%, turnover HK$445 million ▪ CNOOC (883.HK) Latest price HK$26.06, down 3.55%, turnover HK$425 million ▪ POP MART (9992.HK) Latest price HK$152.40, up 7.48%, turnover HK$416 million ▪ SMIC (981.HK) Latest price HK$55.55, up 8.92%, turnover HK$374 million ▪ KUAISHOU-W (1024.HK) Latest price HK$47.80, up 6.46%, turnover HK$236 million ▪ HSBC HOLDINGS (5.HK) Latest price HK$136.90, up 5.31%, turnover HK$234 million ### Related Stocks - [01729.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01729.HK.md) - [06088.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/06088.HK.md) - [01617.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01617.HK.md) - [06869.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/06869.HK.md) - [09903.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09903.HK.md) - [09988.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09988.HK.md) - [00700.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00700.HK.md) - [01810.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01810.HK.md) - [03690.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/03690.HK.md) - [00883.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00883.HK.md) - [09992.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09992.HK.md) - [00981.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00981.HK.md) - [01024.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/01024.HK.md) - [00005.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/00005.HK.md) ## Related News & Research - [A Look At Yangtze Optical Fibre And Cable (SEHK:6869) Valuation After Strong 2025 Results And Higher Final Dividend](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281733914.md) - [Shanghai Iluvatar CoreX Unveils New H Share Incentive Scheme](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281032444.md) - [A C-Suite executive at Pop Mart's biggest Chinese competitor explains what goes into making a hit toy like Labubu](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281606541.md) - [Pop Mart’s $33 Billion Rout Casts Doubt on Life After Labubu](https://longbridge.com/en/news/281434908.md) - [Russia sees China's WeChat, Douyin as models for its homegrown Max messenger](https://longbridge.com/en/news/282029812.md)
