香港股市周四早盘上涨56点,涨幅0.2%,至23691点,连续第二天上涨。贸易商对北京决定解除对28家美国实体的稀土和军用技术的出口限制做出了反应,该决定于周三生效,允许出口商在90天的窗口期内申请许可证。中国还暂时解除了对17家美国公司的贸易和投资禁令,称此举可能是双边关系的重置。在本地,财政司司长陈茂波表示,香港的利率可能仍然较低,因为流动资金充足,支持资本和房地产市场。然而,中国4月份疲软的信贷数据限制了涨幅,中国新增人民币贷款降至2800亿元人民币的20年低点,反映了贸易紧张局势的早期影响。消费类和科技类股领涨,而金融类股则落后。腾讯在第一季度收入超过预期后上涨。其他显著上涨的股票包括迷你索集团(2.7%)、友邦保险集团(2.3%)和小米公司(1.9%)。
Hong Kong stocks rose 56 points or 0.2% to 23,691 during Thursday’s morning session, marking a second straight day of gains. Traders reacted to Beijing’s decision to lift export curbs on rare earths and military-use technologies for 28 U.S. entities, effective Wednesday, allowing exporters to apply for licenses during a 90-day window. China also temporarily lifted trade and investment bans on 17 U.S. firms, calling the move a potential reset in bilateral ties. Locally, Financial Secretary Paul Chan said Hong Kong’s interest rates may remain low due to ample liquidity, supporting capital and property markets. However, gains were capped by weak April credit data from China, where new yuan loans fell to a 20-year low of CNY 280 billion, reflecting early fallout from trade tensions. Consumer and tech shares led the advance, while financials lagged. Tencent rose after Q1 revenue beat estimates. Other notable gainers included Miniso Group (2.7%), AIA Group (2.3%), and Xiaomi Corp. (1.9%).
