Summary · why it matters

The Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong closed up 103.67 points, or 0.41%, at 25,310.85 today, bucking the trend of most Asian markets which fell on a tech sell-off. Xiaomi rose 2.0%, Tencent added 1.0%, Meituan edged up 0.9%, and Horizon Robotics surged 8.9%. Investors are closely watching the US Federal Reserve's monetary policy meeting this week, with CME Group's FedWatch Tool indicating a 62% probability that the Fed will hold rates at 3.50% to 3.75% at the July 28-29 meeting, and a 38% chance of a 0.25% rate hike. In addition, the US June personal consumption expenditures price index, due on Thursday, will be a key data point shaping rate expectations for the rest of the year. Meanwhile, Shein, the online fast-fashion giant, disclosed financial information ahead of its initial public offering, reporting a net loss of 99 million US dollars in the first quarter of 2026, compared with a net profit of 395 million US dollars in the same period a year earlier, as sales slowed sharply after the US ended a duty-free exemption for small parcels. This comes as the company prepares for its investor roadshow and official IPO subscription on the Hong Kong stock exchange.
