Macroeconomic Background
▪ On the news front, global risk appetite has shown a significant shift. On one hand, overnight U.S. chip stocks have led the gains, driving the Nasdaq to a new high, coupled with explosive growth in AI model usage by giants like Tencent, leading to strong demand for tech growth sectors.
▪ Reports indicate that the U.S. and Iran are close to reaching a ceasefire memorandum, significantly warming expectations for easing tensions in the Middle East, causing Brent crude oil futures to plummet 7.83% to USD 101.27 per barrel. The rapid withdrawal of oil risk premiums, previously driven by geopolitical risks in the Strait of Hormuz and other areas, directly dragged down the performance of traditional energy sectors in the Hong Kong stock market.
