I confirm my intention to proceed and enter this websiteThe Hang Seng index soared to a one-week high of 16,587.57 points on Monday. This substantial rally, a jump of 234.18 points or a 1.43% increase, was driven mainly by a boost in industrial and consumer sector stocks. The positive turn was spurred by freshly released official data, showing a rejuvenation in China’s consumer prices for February and putting a halt to a five-month deflationary spell.
In conjunction with the Hang Seng index surge, stocks in the tech, finance, and real estate sectors also enjoyed a rise. The People’s Bank of China (PBoC) provided the stimulus for the overall market rally with a declaration on Sunday. It expressed an objective to continue open up China’s financial markets. The central bank pledged support for stock connection schemes and initiated improvements to the investment landscape.
Last week, Pan Gongsheng, the governor of the People’s Bank of China (PBoC), announced that Beijing plans to enhance the effectiveness of monetary policy and maintain the yuan at a stable level. He also highlighted the potential for further reductions in the Reserve Requirement Ratio (RRR) after its two cuts in 2023.
All sectors played their part in the rising trend, which was a comprehensive event. With a 0.5% expansion, the finance sector marked a slight increase, and the tech sector recorded the most notable upswing, clocking in at 2.8%. Tencent Holdings was among the remarkable achievers, seen with a 3.0% leap, which was further amplified by exceptional progress made by JD.Com (6.6%), Meituan (5.7%), Techtronic Industries (5.2%), Kuaishou Technology (3.9%), and Chow Tai Fook Jewellery (3.3%).
