The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong closed lower today at 24,892.66, down 239.63 points or 0.95 percent, amid concerns over the Middle East conflict after the US military struck Iranian military targets for the 11th consecutive night. US Central Command said the strikes aimed to degrade Iran's ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, while President Donald Trump said the US is not interested in negotiating with Iran unless Iran is ready for truly meaningful talks. Investors are also watching earnings reports from major US tech companies today, including ServiceNow, International Business Machines, Tesla, Texas Instruments, Alphabet, and AT&T, to gauge spending trends in artificial intelligence and cloud services.
