market atmosphere
After the New Year’s Day holiday, the market has gradually returned to volatility. In addition to the impact of the US stock market and the mainland market, the Hong Kong stock market itself also needs to recover, and the trend is more active than other markets.
Overseas, the market continued to track the Fed’s monetary policy and the progress of the US recession. Investors are very sensitive to the Fed’s hawkish attitude again. At the same time, weakening economic data has raised market concerns about a slowdown in the US economy or even a recession. To a certain extent, the weakening momentum of US stocks will affect the performance of Hong Kong stocks, but only in the short term. In the long run, against the background that the Federal Reserve may end its interest rate hike this year, the marginal impact of a strong dollar is weakening.
On the mainland, China continues to relax restrictions on the two-way movement of people from Hong Kong, Macau and the mainland, which has stimulated Hong Kong’s economic expectations. At the same time, the peak of the first wave of epidemics in mainland China is passing. The traditional Lunar New Year is coming, and consumption is expected to be strong, further pushing up the industry Giants, and then stimulate the stock index to rebound. From a general point of view, the worst state of Hong Kong stocks has passed, and market sentiment has entered a recovery period.
