G Sachs has raised its 2026 GDP growth forecast for Hong Kong to 4.6% from 2.4%, following a strong 5.9% YoY growth in 1Q26, surpassing expectations of 3.5%. The growth was driven by inventory accumulation and increased private consumption. However, G Sachs warns that the boost from inventory restocking may be temporary. Goods exports rose 23.8% YoY, while imports increased by 29.9%, leading to a wider trade deficit. Services export growth slowed to 3.5%.

Asian markets opened cautiously on Tuesday, influenced by oil prices and geopolitical tensions, particularly between the U.S. and Iran. The MSCI Asia-Pacific index fell 0.3%, with Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index down 1.3%. Oil prices remain elevated, reviving inflation fears, while the Japanese yen's volatility adds to market unease. The session was thin due to holidays in Japan and South Korea, leading to exaggerated market movements. Investors are wary of potential supply disruptions and military escalations, making the market fragile.
