By the close of trading, the Nasdaq was up 1.48%, the Dow Jones was up 1.11%, and the S&P 500 was up 1.14%.

Wall Street’s major stock indexes fell in response to Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell’s warning last week that interest rates may need to rise to higher-than-expected levels as the Fed fights inflation.

However, in the medium term, with the optimization of China’s epidemic prevention policy and the continued efforts to “stabilize growth” and give full play to the advantages of the large potential of the domestic demand market and sufficient room for reform, if the economic and corporate profit recovery momentum is still strong in the second half of the year, Hong Kong stocks are expected to rebound again by then.

At the structural level, on the one hand, if the Chinese economy is significantly stronger to drive the dollar back down and the appreciation of the yuan, Hong Kong stocks growth style still has the opportunity to outperform the A-share growth, especially the Hong Kong stock characteristics of the Internet, innovative drugs and other industries.

On the other hand, part of the performance cycle is strong, the valuation adjustment more fully, the current is still in the bottoming out of the fundamentals of the industry or stocks may repair more elasticity, such as raw materials, capital goods and other traditional old economy industries.
