Hong Kong stocks closed on May 6 with all three major indices in the green, led by the Hang Seng Index which rose 1.22%. Driven by a surge in global AI computing demand and better-than-expected earnings from overseas giants like AMD, the semiconductor sector exploded, with SMIC and Montage Technology delivering standout performances. Additionally, rising risk-off sentiment pushed the gold and non-ferrous resource sectors higher, while the mainland property and financial sectors also saw a collective rebound. However, significant divergence emerged among tech heavyweight stocks: Tencent Holdings attracted over HK$18.7 billion in turnover, topping the market, but its share price retreated

DeepSeek-V4 open-sourced, igniting the AI compute supply chain; Tencent's QClaw rolls out a major update | Daily News Recap

Today’s CPI coming in below expectations definitely helps the liquidity narrative. Softer inflation reduces pressure on yields and gives the market room to price in a more dovish path. That’s supportive for risk assets, especially long-duration tech. That said, one print doesn’t make a full pivot. Markets usually need a trend of cooling data before calling it a true liquidity turn. It’s a positive start, but confirmation still matters.

Market Shocks: AI, Cisco, Rates

AI remains a long term bull but near term earnings uncertainty is fueling and sharper pullbacks rather than a straight line rallyMargins are key now expect short term volatility and selective dipsFocus on profitable AI infra, energy and select financials

We are indeed entering an 'AI volatility phase,' rather than a pure AI bull market. This perspective is the right mindset.

with rate cuts potentially delayed to July, the bank stocks have been granted a reprieve from the net interest margin compression concern.

AI's disruptions are now spreading into more bread and butter, brick and mortar sectors. Hopefully this will strengthen the AI companies, and eventually, the whole US economy, benefiting all.

Markets are overvalued and needs a breather so whatever the narrative is, it looks like a pullback is due.

Crypto winter is coming, everyone get ready and follow the trend. Do not fight the market!

Best hedge against everything, be it weak data, volatility, or market movement, is still precious metals!

Volatility is here to stay. Look towards other economies instead, like emerging market!
