恒生指数周一上涨162点,涨幅0.8%,收于19883点,结束了两个交易日的下跌,所有板块均上涨。由于11月温和的美国通胀重新引发了对美联储明年降息的押注,投资者在美国期货价格飙升的情况下增持头寸。在国内,香港的年通胀率连续第二个月稳定在1.4%,政府预计近期成本压力可控。与此同时,据报道,内地投资者通过沪港通增加了对香港风险资产的敞口。随着债券收益率下降,股息投资受到青睐,金融股飙升近2%,与内地同行持平。在中国央行将于周二就一年期中期贷款安排作出决定之前,假日周末的谨慎态度限制了涨幅。此前两个月,该安排一直保持在2%不变。大盘股涨幅较大的股票包括东方海外(6.2%)、新奥能源控股(2.8%)、半导体制造(2.8%)和恒生银行(2.5%)。
The Hang Seng climbed 162 points or 0.8% to close at 19,883 on Monday, halting a two-session decline with gains across all sectors. Investors increased their positions amid a jump in US futures, as mild US inflation in November reignited bets of a Fed rate cut next year. At home, Hong Kong's annual inflation held steady at 1.4% for the second month, with the government anticipating manageable cost pressures in the near term. Meanwhile, mainland investors reportedly added their exposure to risk assets in the city via the stock connect. Financials surged near 2%, tracking their mainland counterparts, as dividend plays gained favor amid falling bond yields. Gains were limited by holiday weekend caution ahead of the PBoC's upcoming decision on the one-year medium-term lending facility Tuesday after two months of keeping it unchanged at 2%. Notable big-cap gainers included Orient Overseas (6.2%), ENN Energy Holdings (2.8%), Semiconductor Manufacturing (2.8%), and Hang Seng Bank (2.5%).
