18 August 2025, 09:32  Hong Kong: Stocks Rise Modestly to Begin the Week.

Hong Kong shares rose 73 points or 0.3% to 25,341 in Monday’s morning session, ending a three-day losing streak amid an uptick in U.S. futures after Wall Street closed mostly lower Friday but still posted a second weekly gain. Tech and consumer stocks led the gains, driven by bullish momentum in mainland stocks. Investors also took note of Beijing’s new measures to aid the slowing economy, including subsidizing consumer loan interest and directing state firms to purchase unsold homes from troubled builders. However, upside remained limited by caution ahead of the PBoC’s monthly loan prime rate review later this week and vigilance before the Fed’s annual Jackson Hole meeting, where Chair Powell is expected to signal a possible September rate cut. Early movers included Innovent Biologics (3.8%), Lenovo (3.1%), Chow Tai Fook (2.8%), and Trip.com (2.6%). On the other hand, Standard Chartered tumbled 7.2% after a U.S. lawmaker called for a probe into alleged sanctions evasion.
