Reviewing the recent performance of Hang Seng Index-related derivatives after significant market movements highlights the astonishing power of leverage! Following unusual activity on December 30, 2025, related warrants and bull contracts saw substantial gains two days later, with $BI#HSI RC2807U.C (53746.HK)$ rising by 51% two days later, $UB#HSI RC2809H.C (55133.HK)$ increasing by 46% two days later, $JP-HSI @EC2605A.C (22977.HK)$ The increases in the BOC call warrants (23128) over two days also reached 28% and 25%, respectively, while the Hang Seng Index rose only by 1.87% during the same period. The highest increase in the derivatives was more than 27 times that of the Hang Seng Index, perfectly illustrating the联动 logic of 'small rise in underlying stocks, big rise in derivatives.'

The logic behind this profit-making mechanism is not complex: when the underlying stock (here the Hang Seng Index) shows an upward trend, call warrants and bull contracts will follow suit with an increase, and the higher the leverage, the more significant the increase might be during the upward phase of the underlying stock. In the case of December 30, 2025, the outstanding performances were all from bull contracts and call warrants, which aligns well with the upward trend of the Hang Seng Index. Additionally, the performance of derivatives is closely related to the exercise price, premium rate, and implied volatility. Typically, the closer the exercise price is to the current price of the underlying stock and the lower the premium rate, the higher the sensitivity of the derivative to changes in the underlying stock, resulting in greater upside potential.
Based on the current market situation of the Hang Seng Index and screening of the derivatives pool, we have selected the following three targets for your reference. Investors with different holding statuses can operate accordingly:
1. J.P. Morgan Call Warrant (22977): Leverage of 12 times, exercise price at 28,200 points. Its core advantage is that it has the highest leverage and lowest premium in the current derivatives pool, making it highly sensitive to increases in the Hang Seng Index. It is suitable for investors who are optimistic about the Hang Seng Index breaking through the resistance level at 26,453 points.
2. $BI#HSI RC2808L.C (60819.HK)$ : Leverage of 24.6 times, recovery price at 25,395 points, relatively low premium, and a certain safety margin between the recovery price and the current Hang Seng Index point. This offers both high leverage effects and the ability to avoid risks of short-term pullbacks in the Hang Seng Index to some extent, making it more stable.
3. $BI-HSI @EP2603A.P (20720.HK)$ Leverage of 15.5x, strike price at 24,875 points, with both premium and implied volatility being the lowest among current put warrants. Suitable for investors who believe that the Hang Seng Index will not break through the resistance level in the short term and may retrace, serving as a hedging or positioning tool.
Operational recommendations:Fellow investors who already hold these strong call warrants or bull contracts can set stop-profit levels. For example, investors holding the BOC Bull Contract (60819) can set the stop-profit level at 5% above the recent high. Fellow investors who haven’t entered the market yet should avoid chasing after targets that have already surged significantly, such as relevant derivatives after the unusual movements on December 30, 2025, which are currently at high levels. Choosing targets with low premiums, high leverage, and reasonable exercise prices (such as J.P. Morgan Call Warrant 22977 and BOC Bull Contract 60819) would be more prudent because derivatives with low premiums have lower costs when the underlying stock changes, and the risks are relatively controllable.


Lastly, risk must be emphasized:Unusual intraday movements may be due to short-term capital speculation. If the Hang Seng Index does not have sustained volume support, derivatives could retreat at any time. Additionally, derivatives are high-risk financial instruments. Before entering the market, you must clearly understand the real-time premium rates and trading volumes of the derivatives, avoiding choosing targets with too low trading volumes or large bid-ask spreads, preventing the inability to close positions in time.
