Hong Kong's small landlords are adapting to competition by converting office spaces into co-working areas and student hostels. With a significant increase in premium office space, older buildings face challenges as tenants prefer modern facilities. Analysts note a shift towards co-working, with a projected 1.7 million sq ft leased by 2025. The student housing sector is also expanding due to a current deficit of 88,000 beds. Despite a slight increase in leasing activity, overall office rents fell by 2.9% year-on-year, with premium offices expected to outperform the market.

The new Basic Housing Units Ordinance in Hong Kong is leading to evictions of tenants in subdivided flats, as landlords must comply with new minimum standards. Many residents, like 72-year-old Chan Sai-chiu, face displacement due to renovation plans. Advocates are calling for stable temporary housing solutions for the 220,000 residents affected. The law aims to improve living conditions, but low-income tenants may struggle to afford compliant housing, potentially leading to further instability in their living situations. The government is exploring options for transitional housing to assist those impacted by the changes.

Fidelity International and other global investors are returning to Hong Kong's IPO market, signaling a shift in sentiment. After a quiet period, Fidelity backed several major listings, including Zijin Gold International and HashKey Group.

The Hong Kong market has seen strong gains, with foreign capital making up 27% of cornerstone investors in top IPOs. The profile of these investors has shifted, with more global funds participating in recent deals, reflecting a recalibration of risk appetite.

Chan emphasized that this transfer is not a regular practice and reassured that the fund's stability remains intact. He also revealed a shift towards longer-term bond issuance to align with infrastructure financing.

Hong Kong Stocks End the Week Higher; Four Firms File for Hong Kong IPOs

$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)has evolved into a hybrid market that reflects China’s economic cycle more than Hong Kong’s domestic fundamentals. Its performance is increasingly driven by mainland policy follow-through, earnings durability in platform and financial stocks, and cross-border capital flows via Stock Connect. Valuation alone is no longer a catalyst; sustained upside depends on whether policy support translates into real profit recovery and renewed confidence from long-term global investors.

The exchange rate of HKD against USD is rising rapidly. Will there still be big opportunities in Hong Kong stocks? $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $Hang Seng TECH Index(STECH.HK)

While the US stock market hovers under the shadow of tariffs, the Hong Kong stock market is experiencing a liquidity-driven structural frenzy. But is this 'Hong Kong stocks feast' the beginning of a trend revaluation, or a short-lived bubble induced by capital?From a macro perspective, the weak dollar cycle and the abundance of Hong Kong dollar liquidity are the core drivers of the Hong Kong stock market. In May, US tariff revenue surged to a peak of $22 billion, yet the CPI remained stable, coupled with the potential impact of immigration policies on the job market, the probability of a Fed rate cut in June-July is extremely low. The US stock market remains in a tug-of-war between 'chicken ribs market and downside risk.' In contrast, the Hong Kong dollar exchange rate has quickly slid from the strong-side guarantee to the weak-side edge, HIBOR rates are nearly zero, and the abundant liquidity is flooding into new consumption, innovative drugs, and A/H premium targets, driving both blue-chip dividend stocks and growth assets higher.However, the sustainability of the structural revaluation of Hong Kong stocks is highly dependent on the liquidity environment. The current extremely low level of HIBOR has deviated from the US benchmark interest rate. If the Fed's policy shifts or there are changes in the supply and demand of funds, a liquidity retreat could trigger a valuation correction. More critically, the structural premium of the same asset in Hong Kong stocks compared to A-shares lacks fundamental support. In a market dominated by southbound funds, caution is needed against the risk of valuation overshoot under 'capital frenzy.'In the short term, as long as the cost of borrowing in Hong Kong dollars remains low, there is still room for liquidity-driven revaluation to continue. However, in the long term, whether Hong Kong stocks can escape the 'capital market' dilemma depends on whether corporate earnings can take over liquidity as the anchor of valuation. Investors need to closely monitor changes in HIBOR rates and maintain sensitivity to risks amid the liquidity feast. $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)

$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK)When the Hong Kong dollar triggers the strong-side convertibility undertaking, the Hong Kong government will be forced to issue Hong Kong dollars to buy US dollars (unless Hong Kong abandons the linked exchange rate system due to another crisis caused by excessive base money).Short-term may benefit the Hong Kong stock market.

On a weekly basis, the southbound capital flow in Hong Kong stocks was a net outflow in the past week. This is unusual, as it's the first time this has happened in at least over a year. $HSTECH ETF(03032.HK) $Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $XIAOMI-W(01810.HK)

Another day protected by southbound capital! At 13:30 in the afternoon, the southbound capital suddenly surged, and the intraday chart skyrocketed after a 10-minute delay (did you day trade during these 10 minutes? 😂).Unlike yesterday, the southbound capital first rose and then fell in the morning, showing overall weakness. By 13:30, the net purchase was only 1.5 billion. After the surge, the cumulative net purchase for the day reached 5.15 billion. Compared with yesterday, I'm more convinced that there is a will behind the southbound capital.$Hang Seng Index(00HSI.HK) $BABA-W(09988.HK) $TENCENT(00700.HK)
