The Hang Seng Index fell 360 points, or 1.5%, to 23,950 on Thursday, extending losses for a third consecutive session and the lowest since July 2025, as investors shunned risk after the Federal Reserve struck a more hawkish tone, signaling that further policy tightening may still be needed to contain inflation. The prospect of higher US interest rates lifted Treasury yields and the dollar while pressuring Wall Street overnight, dampening sentiment across Asian markets. Locally, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority left its base rate unchanged at 4.0%, mirroring the Fed’s decision to hold rates steady. Investors also remained cautious amid lingering uncertainty over the global economic outlook and the potential impact of prolonged higher interest rates on corporate earnings and capital flows. Financial, technology, retail, and energy shares led the retreat, with notable losses from Kingboard Laminates (-4.3%), Pop Mart (-3.4%), Xiaomi (-2.5%), SMIC (-1.9%), and Tencent (-1.2%).
