UBS Investment Bank analyst Deng Weishen pointed out that the Hong Kong government has used HKD 150 billion from the foreign exchange fund for northern infrastructure projects for the first time, which helps diversify and optimize the investment portfolio and reduce the need for borrowing. He believes that Hong Kong has room to diversify risks by issuing more RMB-denominated bonds and enhance long-term growth potential. UBS maintains its 2026 real GDP growth forecast at 3.3%, above market consensus, and is focused on government spending and changes in the industrial cycle

S&P Global stated that Hong Kong's public financial situation is robust enough to support a large infrastructure plan. A deficit of about 3% is expected in the fiscal year 2025, and about 2% in the fiscal year 2026. Despite a decline in land sale revenues, strong profits tax and an active stock market have restored operational accounts to surplus. Chinese enterprises seeking to list in Hong Kong are driving IPO growth, which is expected to boost stamp duty revenue. The government plans to invest heavily in the Northern Metropolis project, and while the overall fiscal balance remains in deficit, the deficit rate is expected to decrease to 1.8% from fiscal years 2026 to 2029. Fiscal reserves are expected to start increasing by the end of the fiscal year 2025

The Financial Secretary, Paul Chan, stated in a radio program that it is necessary to cautiously adjust policies to avoid significant fluctuations in the property market. He emphasized the importance of monitoring the development of the property market and land supply, with the goal of maintaining stable and healthy development in the residential property market. Although the supply of private residential and public housing has steadily increased, the new fiscal budget pays little attention to the property market. He explained that the decision not to raise the property stamp duty threshold to HKD 6 million is due to the increase in transaction volume and the rise in some property prices after the threshold was raised to HKD 4 million last year, thus careful policy adjustments are required

$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)has evolved into a hybrid market that reflects China’s economic cycle more than Hong Kong’s domestic fundamentals. Its performance is increasingly driven by mainland policy follow-through, earnings durability in platform and financial stocks, and cross-border capital flows via Stock Connect. Valuation alone is no longer a catalyst; sustained upside depends on whether policy support translates into real profit recovery and renewed confidence from long-term global investors.

The exchange rate of HKD against USD is rising rapidly. Will there still be big opportunities in Hong Kong stocks? $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $Hang Seng TECH Index(STECH.HK)

While the US stock market hovers under the shadow of tariffs, the Hong Kong stock market is experiencing a liquidity-driven structural frenzy. But is this 'Hong Kong stocks feast' the beginning of a trend revaluation, or a short-lived bubble induced by capital?From a macro perspective, the weak dollar cycle and the abundance of Hong Kong dollar liquidity are the core drivers of the Hong Kong stock market. In May, US tariff revenue surged to a peak of $22 billion, yet the CPI remained stable, coupled with the potential impact of immigration policies on the job market, the probability of a Fed rate cut in June-July is extremely low. The US stock market remains in a tug-of-war between 'chicken ribs market and downside risk.' In contrast, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has quickly slid from the strong-side guarantee to the weak-side edge, HIBOR rates are nearly zero, and the abundant liquidity is flooding into new consumption, innovative drugs, and A/H premium targets, driving both blue-chip dividend stocks and growth assets higher.However, the sustainability of the structural revaluation of Hong Kong stocks is highly dependent on the liquidity environment. The current extremely low level of HIBOR has deviated from the US benchmark interest rate. If the Fed's policy shifts or there are changes in the supply and demand of funds, a liquidity retreat could trigger a valuation correction. More critically, the structural premium of the same asset in Hong Kong stocks compared to A-shares lacks fundamental support. In a market dominated by southbound funds, caution is needed against the risk of valuation overshoot under 'capital frenzy.'In the short term, as long as the cost of borrowing in Hong Kong dollars remains low, there is still room for liquidity-driven revaluation to continue. However, in the long term, whether Hong Kong stocks can escape the 'capital market' dilemma depends on whether corporate earnings can take over liquidity as the anchor of valuation. Investors need to closely monitor changes in HIBOR rates and maintain sensitivity to risks amid the liquidity feast. $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)

$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)When the Hong Kong dollar triggers the strong-side convertibility undertaking, the Hong Kong government will be forced to issue Hong Kong dollars to buy US dollars (unless Hong Kong abandons the linked exchange rate system due to another crisis caused by excessive base money).Short-term may benefit the Hong Kong stock market.

On a weekly basis, the southbound capital flow in Hong Kong stocks was a net outflow in the past week. This is unusual, as it's the first time this has happened in at least over a year. $HSTECH ETF(03032.HK) $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $XIAOMI-W(01810.HK)

Another day protected by southbound capital! At 13:30 in the afternoon, the southbound capital suddenly surged, and the intraday chart skyrocketed after a 10-minute delay (did you day trade during these 10 minutes? 😂).Unlike yesterday, the southbound capital first rose and then fell in the morning, showing overall weakness. By 13:30, the net purchase was only 1.5 billion. After the surge, the cumulative net purchase for the day reached 5.15 billion.
