Hong Kong Equities Under Pressure
Friday, October 17, 2025       09:39 WIB

Hong Kong stocks fell 344 points, or 1.3%, to 25,540 in early Friday trade, extending losses from the day before as all sectors retreated.
Sentiment weakened after mainland shares dropped and President Trump confirmed that trade tensions with China remain high.
Wall Street also closed lower overnight, weighed by the ongoing U.S. government shutdown, now in its third week, which has delayed key data and sparked fears it could stretch into November.
Investors remain cautious ahead of China's fourth plenum in Oct. 20-23, where the 2026-2030 five-year plan will be outlined.
Markets are also bracing for next week's data: September industrial output, retail sales, Q3 GDP, and the loan prime rate fixing.
Tech stocks led declines-- SMIC (-4.2%), Kuaishou Tech (-2.4%), Meituan (-2.3%)--while consumer and financial names slipped amid persistent deflation risks following weaker-than-expected CPI and PPI. For the week, Hong Kong shares are on track for a second straight loss, down roughly 3% so far
