香港股市周四上午下跌257点,跌幅1.1%,至23963点,在大陆数据疲软的情况下,较前一交易日的涨幅有所波动。一项私人调查显示,6月份中国服务业活动增速为9个月来最低。在美国关键的就业报告发布之前,人们也普遍持谨慎态度,同时美国减税和支出法案的通过也存在不确定性,在特朗普总统排除延长暂停期后,7月9日的关税最后期限即将到来。特朗普与越南达成贸易协议后,标准普尔500指数和纳斯达克指数一夜之间创下历史新高,缓和了跌幅。当地数据也提供了一些支持,香港5月零售额同比增长1.9%,结束了连续14个月的下降。与此同时,有报道称,华盛顿已经取消了美国芯片设计软件对中国的出口许可证要求,这表明双边贸易紧张局势有所缓和。排名靠后的包括徽商银行(-8.6%)、金山软件(-5.7%)、小米(-3.0%)和阿里巴巴健康(-2.4%)。
Hong Kong shares dropped 257 points, or 1.1%, to 23,963 on Thursday morning, swinging from the prior session’s gains amid weak data from the mainland. A private survey showed China’s services activity expanded at the slowest pace in nine months in June. Caution also prevailed ahead of a key U.S. jobs report, along with uncertainty over the passage of a U.S. tax cut and spending bill, and a looming July 9 tariff deadline after President Trump ruled out extending the pause. Losses were tempered by record highs on the S&P 500 and Nasdaq overnight following Trump's trade deal with Vietnam. Local data also offered some support, with Hong Kong’s retail sales rising 1.9% yoy in May, ending 14 straight months of decline. Meanwhile, reports said Washington has removed export license requirements for U.S. chip design software to China, signaling a thaw in bilateral trade tensions. Top laggards included Huishang Bank (-8.6%), Kingsoft (-5.7%), Xiaomi (-3.0%), and Alibaba Health (-2.4%).
