2026.08.1302:24:04UTC+00Hong Kong Stocks Flat Despite Softer US Inflation

The Hang Seng Index was little changed on Thursday, hovering around 25,400, as investors remained cautious after the previous session’s decline, despite softer US inflation data that strengthened expectations for a more accommodative Federal Reserve stance. Asian markets were broadly firmer after the US consumer price report eased inflation concerns and reinforced hopes for a looser monetary-policy outlook.

In Hong Kong, however, gains were limited as investors continued to weigh weakness in technology shares and persistent geopolitical risks. The tech sector remained in focus as markets digested Tencent’s second-quarter earnings and monitored ongoing developments in China’s artificial-intelligence industry.

Performance among major technology names was mixed: Z.AI Co. rose 2.0%, MiniMax added 1.2% and SMIC climbed 2.0%, while Tencent fell 2.6% and AIA edged down 0.3%. Investors also kept a close eye on upcoming corporate earnings and further news from China’s technology sector.
