In Hong Kong, the Hang Seng Index rose 38 points, or 0.2%, to 24,213 on turnover of HK$309.51 billion. The Hang Seng Tech Index fell 45 points, or 1%, to 4,676, while the China Enterprises Index gained 26 points, or 0.3%, to 8,065.

The CSI 2000 Index fell 5.7%, its biggest single-day drop since April 2025. Banks, energy and consumer staples rose 0.2% to 1.7%. Nanhua Futures said weak domestic demand and profit-taking could keep the market range-bound, adding that blue chips may retain a relative advantage while small- and mid-caps could face further valuation adjustments.
