Hong Kong stocks are rebounding—what sectors deserve attention?
On June 11, Hong Kong stocks hit a year-to-date intraday low, with the Hang Seng Index briefly falling below the 24,000-point level before recovering modestly toward the close.
As of the market close, the Hang Seng Index stood at 24,249.29, down 158.67 points or 0.65%.

The Hang Seng Tech Index closed at 4,655.74, down 69.05 points or 1.46%.

In terms of market focus, Alibaba-W (HK09988) fell more than 5%, while JD.com-SW (HK09618) declined nearly 3%.

On the news front, Beijing Municipal Administration for Market Regulation today summoned five e-commerce platforms—Taobao (Tmall), JD.com, PDD Holdings, Douyin, and Xiaohongshu—to通报 a second batch of typical issues identified in the ongoing rectification campaign targeting 'cutthroat' platform competition. The main issues include false advertising in promotional campaigns, non-standard formulation and disclosure of promotional rules, and failure to disclose seller information, with rectification requirements issued accordingly.
Semiconductor stocks bucked the downtrend with strong gains, as Montage Technology (HK06809) rose more than 5%.

On the news front, NVIDIA’s Vera Rubin AI superchip platform is poised for mass production, intensifying an acute global memory supply crisis. Major cloud service providers have already locked in all long-term contract capacity through 2027 and have begun negotiations for 2028 deliveries. OEMs have explicitly informed module manufacturers that no additional capacity is available, causing the PC memory allocation share to plunge from 12% to 9%. The industry widely expects the shortage in 2027 to surpass that of 2026, with strong memory pricing likely to persist through 2028.
Elsewhere on the market, internet and tech stocks broadly declined, with Baidu dropping over 3% and Tencent falling more than 1%. Robotics-related stocks led the losses, with Woan Robot plunging over 13%. Wind power stocks continued to weaken, with Dongfang Electric down over 6%.
In terms of capital flows, southbound investors recorded a modest net sell-off in Hong Kong-listed stocks today. As of the market close, southbound funds net sold over HK$2.7 billion worth of Hong Kong equities.

Outlook for the market ahead:
Analysts at CICC maintain a neutral-to-range-bound outlook on the Hang Seng Index, based on their assessment of the overall credit cycle. They note that given tight liquidity conditions, marginal shifts—such as a decline in U.S. Treasury yields or AI investment catalysts from major internet firms—could drive valuation recovery in sectors like technology. The market currently expects the European Central Bank and the Bank of Japan to most likely hike rates in June, creating a phase of tighter monetary conditions.
Everbright Securities International believes that the Hong Kong market currently faces multiple headwinds, including rising expectations of further Fed rate hikes, sharp corrections in overseas tech stocks from recent highs, and renewed tensions in the Middle East. These factors are pressuring market liquidity, and short-term performance is expected to remain weak with subdued sentiment. However, valuations of certain heavyweight internet companies have already fallen significantly and are now at low levels, providing some stability to the market.
