Hang Seng Soars, Alibaba Leading

The Hong Kong stock market rallied sharply on Wednesday (July 8th). The Hang Seng Index rose 3% to 24,199.46, its biggest daily gain since April 8th, when it had risen 3.1%.

This gain followed a 0.5% decline in the previous session. This movement indicated a recovery in buying interest, particularly after investors returned to key Hong Kong stocks.

The trade and industry sectors were the main drivers of the market. All sectors recorded gains, with 73 of the 93 stocks in the index rising, while 19 others declined.

Alibaba Group Holding was the largest contributor to the Hang Seng's rise. Alibaba shares surged 12.2%, recording the largest move among the index's stocks, contributing to positive sentiment in the Hong Kong market. (asd)*
