By midday, the Hang Seng Index fell by 1.32%, the Hang Seng Tech Index dropped by 1.66%, and the National Enterprises Index decreased by 1.28%. On the market, large technology stocks experienced widespread declines, with gold stocks leading the drop in non-ferrous metal stocks. Insurance stocks, Chinese brokerage stocks, and airline stocks were collectively sluggish. The Hong Kong stock consumption sector fluctuated at low levels during the midday session, with the Hong Kong Stock Connect Consumption ETF ChinaAMC (513230) down nearly 1.5%. As of April 16, the scale of the Hong Kong Stock Connect Consumption ETF ChinaAMC (513230) reached 477 million yuan. On April 16, the National Bureau of Statistics released data showing that in the first quarter, the per capita consumption expenditure on food, tobacco, and alcohol for residents nationwide was 2,549 yuan, an increase of 5.3% year-on-year, accounting for 32.0%; per capita housing consumption expenditure was 1,611 yuan, accounting for 20.3%; and transportation and communication expenditure was 1,079 yuan, accounting for 13.6%. In addition, expenditures on clothing, daily necessities and services, education, culture, and entertainment all achieved varying degrees of growth. Structurally, food and housing still constitute the main expenditure items for residents, accounting for over 50% combined, reflecting the stability of basic living consumption. At the same time, the optional consumption sector overall maintained moderate growth, but there was significant differentiation between different categories. Some service-related expenditures recovered at a relatively slow pace, while other types of consumption showed higher elasticity. This structural change reflects that while resident consumption is steadily recovering, it is still dominated by rigid demand.
