The Zhitong Finance App learned that the US Treasury bailout triggered a new round of sell-off. Coupled with another escalation of the geographical situation in the Middle East and the return of international oil prices above 100 US dollars per barrel, the three major Hong Kong stock indices collectively opened low today, and the Hang Seng Index fell below the 25,000 mark. At the close, the Hang Seng Index fell 1.27% or 320.49 points to 24954.47 points, with a full-day turnover of HK$198,865 billion; the Hang Seng State-owned Enterprises Index fell 1.13% to 8274.78 points; and the Hang Seng Technology Index fell 2.04% to 4330.49 points.
Huatai Securities believes that looking back, if the FOMC finally gives clear guidelines in September, regardless of whether interest rates are raised or not, it will help calm current market fluctuations. Instead, the game may be delayed until December. Until then, there was uncertainty about winning the election, and market turmoil would further increase. Currently, we are still in the “driving in the fog” stage, and the four major suspense issues are still unclear. We still recommend a balanced configuration.

Popular sector aspects
On the market, the performance of TechNet stocks was under pressure, with Alibaba falling 2.64% and Tencent Holdings falling 1.94%. Low-wave and high-dividend assets such as the Bank of China strengthened against the market. CCB rose 1.61%, the geographical situation escalated and oil prices broke 100, and CNOOC Oilfield Services rose 2.08%; robot concept stocks broke out partially, and Youdi Robotics reached a new high the day after the listing, and Xiangong Intelligence rose more than 14%. On the other side, yesterday's strong computing power hardware stocks were generally under pressure; auto stocks continued to be weak, and the performance of gold stocks and innovative drug concept stocks was sluggish.
High-yield stocks such as the Bank of China reversed the rise. At the close, Bank of Communications (03328) rose 2.15% to HK$8.06; CCB (00939) rose 1.61% to HK$9.77; and Bank of China (03988) rose 0.93% to HK$5.97.
According to the CITIC Securities Research Report, global long-term interest rates continue to rise, and the yield advantage of high dividends on Hong Kong stocks has narrowed compared to risk-free assets overseas. In terms of allocation, cash flow stability, profit certainty, and dividend sustainability should be further examined, and attention should be paid to the segment direction where southbound holdings are relatively high and marginal pricing power for foreign capital is relatively low. It is recommended that priority be given to banks, coal, property management, and gas. Among them, banks' interim profit reports, recent revisions to expectations, and a relatively stable chip structure. Coal has both profit growth and expected improvement, while property management and gas have good dividend protection.
Gold stocks are generally under pressure. At the close, Shandong Gold (01787) fell 3.96% to HK$24.74; Lingbao Gold (03330) fell 3.31% to HK$23.36.
The US Treasury Department announced that it would raise the upper limit of a single long-term treasury bond repurchase to 6 billion US dollars, three times the original size last month, but this effort has not stopped the sell-off trend in the bond market. The 10-year US Treasury yield hit a three-year high in the intraday period. Geographically, Iran said on Wednesday that after the US sank five Iranian tankers, the country attacked 10 ships near the Strait of Hormuz. This is the largest round of attacks on ships launched by both sides in the six months since the start of the US-Iran war. Affected by this, Brent crude oil rose above the $100 mark per barrel for the first time since the end of July, further heating up concerns about inflation. CITIC Futures believes that gold is expected to remain volatile in the short term, and that the US inflation data during the week will be an important catalyst for the next phase of direction selection.
Innovative drug concept stocks continued to fall. At the close, Hanson Pharmaceuticals (03692) fell 4.20% to HK$33.34; Cinda Biotech (01801) fell 3.92% to HK$94.35; and CSPC Pharmaceuticals (01093) fell 3.63% to HK$8.77.
Live negotiations and price negotiations for the 2026 national talks have come to an end, and the waiting period for the results has officially entered. Whether it is the major variety pattern that has already been negotiated at the basic health insurance level or the commercial insurance catalogue list finalized on the same day, the results will affect the domestic market competition pattern and payment system trend for innovative drugs in the coming year. Furthermore, the Lyon Research Report pointed out that Novartis CEO's latest review of the Lp (a) HORIZON study may attribute the failure of the study to the limited cardiovascular benefits of late reduction in Lp (a) compared to lifelong genetic Lp (a) exposure, which will put pressure on mainland Lp (a) participants, including CSP Group.
