"Trump effect troubles Hong Kong stocks"
The previous night, the three major U.S. stock indexes all rose, with the Dow soaring 742 points to reach a new high of 40,954; the S&P rose 35 points to 5,667, setting a new closing high; and the Nasdaq rose 36 points to 18,509. Looking back at the Hong Kong stock market, after falling for two consecutive days, the Hang Seng Index still fluctuated up and down today, lacking the motivation to rebound. Lee Wai Kit, a director of the brokerage department at Huasheng Securities, told ET Net News Agency that the market's expectations for a U.S. interest rate cut in September have increased, and the probability has increased from 60% to 90%, boosting the Hang Seng Index to reach 18,300 points last week. However, since Trump was shot, his chances of returning to the White House have greatly increased. The Trump effect has emerged: increased tariffs on China and a tougher attitude towards China.
On the other hand, the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China has not yet released measures to support the economy. Even if it does, it may be aimed at real estate, retail and how to improve new productivity, such as the practical application of AI. However, the application in this area is already in progress. The market is concerned that the policy of exempting H-share dividend tax from Mainland China investors has not yet been announced. If the Hang Seng Index can hold 17,700 in the next two days, it will have a chance to return to 18,300.
"BYD has many vehicle types and great potential for development"
Among the new forces of electric vehicles, "NIO, XPeng and Li Auto" performed well today, with a temporary increase of between 3 and 4%. Lee Wai Kit said that since the EU launched an action to impose additional tariffs on imported electric vehicles from China, the stock prices of relevant stocks have fallen significantly. As the EU votes to impose additional tariffs, the negative impact of the incident has gradually been digested. In addition, the car sales data in June were satisfactory, recording monthly growth. Among them, Li Auto (02015) had the best growth, with monthly growth more than 30%, which is good for the stock price. In addition, the Mainland China government's active support for the autonomous driving industry is expected to increase the purchase intention of electric vehicles. XPeng (09868) is relatively leading in this regard.
The share price of electric vehicle leader BYD (01211) was soft today and did not rise at the same time as "NIO, XPeng and Li Auto". Lee Wai Kit pointed out that when the EU began to impose additional tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, BYD's share price did not fall but rose. Therefore, even if the EU implements additional tariffs, it is expected to have little impact on its stock prices. On the contrary, Buffett's previous selling of BYD shares had a certain negative impact. However, due to the wide range of vehicle types and models produced by BYD, with prices ranging from RMB 100,000 to one million, ranging from private cars to buses, the future development prospects are still optimistic. If investors are interested, they can wait for the stock price to fall back to HKD 235 to buy the stock, with a target price of HKD 260 and stop loss at HKD 220.
