The Hong Kong stock market closed today with all three major indices retreating. The Hang Seng Index, Technology Index, and National Enterprises Index all fell back from their recent highs, and market sentiment has become cautious.

Blue-chip stocks and industry leaders saw active trading, reflecting that capital is mainly concentrated in core assets and short-term active hotspots
