The Hang Seng Index rose 155 points, or 0.6%, to 26,560 on Tuesday, extending gains from the previous session as optimism surrounding artificial intelligence-related shares helped support regional sentiment despite lingering geopolitical concerns. The advance came after reports indicated investors remained bullish on the AI trade even as the US and Iran failed to reach a peace agreement, while oil prices climbed amid the ongoing stalemate. In Hong Kong, financial and technology shares led gains, with continued buying interest in AI-related and growth stocks helping to offset broader caution. Notable movers included Kuaishou Technology (10.1%), Tencent Holdings (0.1%), Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corporation (1.4%), AIA Group (0.4%), and Techtronic Industries Co. (0.7%). Despite the advance, trading remained cautious as investors monitored Middle East tensions and positioned ahead of upcoming economic data from Hong Kong for clearer growth signals.
