Hang Seng Index Powers Higher With Global Winds Behind It
With an early 2.69% gain, the Hang Seng Index is riding a global wave of tech optimism, aligning with rallies in Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Australia. The index could continue its upward trajectory today if mainland markets remain supportive and global cues stay bullish.
Investors will watch for U.S. CPI data, China inflation prints, and volumes to confirm trend strength.
