More Hongkongers are opting for mainland Chinese tours during the Easter holiday due to the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, which has disrupted air travel. The Hong Kong Tourism Association reported a 30% year-on-year increase in outbound tour groups to the mainland. Many travelers are shifting from plans to visit Europe or the Middle East to mainland destinations. Additionally, local airlines have raised fuel surcharges amid rising global fuel prices. The Immigration Department anticipates 6.44 million trips through Hong Kong's border during the Easter and Ching Ming Festival holiday.

China's services activity showed slower growth in March, with the services purchasing managers' index dropping to 52.1 from 56.7 in February, indicating weak consumer demand post-Lunar New Year holiday. The official PMI indicated gains in producer services, but consumer services like retail remained in contraction. Input prices rose slightly, yet companies reduced selling prices to stimulate sales. Consumer spending has had a poor start to the year, prompting the government to lower its growth target to 4.5%-5%, the lowest since 1991, while scaling back fiscal stimulus plans.

- China's service sector activity expanded at a weak pace in March, indicating soft consumer demand after the long holiday.  
- The RatingDogChina service purchasing managers' index fell from 56.7 in February to 52.1, dropping more than expected, while economists had predicted 53.6.

Hong Kong's commercial real estate sector is showing signs of recovery, as reported by S&P. Improvements are noted in Grade A office and retail markets, with strong net absorption and retail sales growth. However, S&P warns that this recovery is limited to prime locations and not comprehensive. Office and retail rents may continue to decline until 2026, although the pace of decline could slow.

The blueprint also includes attracting investments ranging from HKD 8 billion to HKD 12 billion, launching 75 new AI financial products, and recommending that regulatory bodies expand the sandbox scope to support small and medium-sized enterprises

$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. Compared with yesterday, I'm more convinced that there is a will behind the southbound capital.$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $BABA-W(09988.HK) $TENCENT(00700.HK)
