Equities in Hong Kong fell 111 points, or 0.4%, to 25,392 in early Friday trade, extending losses from the previous session as weakness in tech and consumer stocks weighed on the market. Sentiment remained fragile after a negative lead from Wall Street overnight, with oil price volatility curbing expectations for Fed rate cuts. On the policy front, China’s central bank left its key lending rates unchanged at record lows for a tenth straight month in March 2026, in a cautious move as Middle East tensions may cloud the inflation outlook. Meanwhile, Beijing’s 2026 growth target of 4.5%–5%, its weakest since 1991, suggests less urgency for broad stimulus. Markets are now on track for a third straight weekly loss, down about 0.3% so far. Concerns over Hong Kong’s IPO pipeline, amid Beijing’s tighter scrutiny of offshore-incorporated Chinese firms, added pressure. Among notable laggards were Xiaomi Corp. (-6.4%), Laopu Gold (-4.2%), China Unicom (-2.7%), and SITC Intl. Holdings (-2.3%).
