Hang Seng Opens Lower, Is It All Tech Stocks to Blame?
The Hang Seng Index is expected to open lower on Monday, December 15, 2025, after previously closing slightly above 25,975. This lower opening projection comes amid sluggish global sentiment, after Wall Street corrected due to a sell-off in AI and technology stocks. Investors in Hong Kong are also still digesting signals of a slowdown in the Chinese economy and concerns about a supply surplus in the property and financial sectors, so risk appetite at the start of the session tended to be limited.
Additional pressure comes from the technology sector, which has often led the Hang Seng's decline in recent days, while interest rate-sensitive and property stocks are still overshadowed by debt risks and weak demand. Nevertheless, market participants remain vigilant about the possibility of further policy support from Beijing to stabilize growth in 2026. If there are signals of additional stimulus or positive corporate news, this opening weakness could turn into a technical rebound throughout the session. (az)
