Hang Seng index up 0.32%, Hang Seng tech index up 0.54% at close
The Hang Seng Index and Hang Seng Tech Index both showed positive gains at the close of trading on July 2, 2025. The Hang Seng Index, a prominent indicator of stock performance on the Hong Kong Exchange, climbed by 0.32%, reaching a value of 18,100 points. Meanwhile, the Hang Seng Tech Index, which tracks the performance of tech companies listed on the exchange, increased by 0.54%, reaching a value of 3,000 points [1].These gains come amid a broader trend of recovery in the Hang Seng Index since the end of 2020, following the initial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The index has shown significant increases every month since then, reflecting the stabilization of the pandemic and the news about vaccine rollouts [1].
One notable addition to the Hang Seng Composite Index, a benchmark covering about 95% of the total market capitalization of companies listed on the Hong Kong mainboard, is Singapore-headquartered biotech firm Mirxes. The company's inclusion in the index is expected to enhance its visibility and trading liquidity, making its shares more attractive to a broader base of investors [2].
The Hang Seng Index's performance is also influenced by the broader economic and geopolitical landscape. The shift in mainland capital toward undervalued Hong Kong-listed assets, as seen in the surging Southbound trading volumes through the Stock Connect program, has contributed to the index's growth [4]. Furthermore, the inclusion of tech giants like Tencent and Alibaba, as well as dividend powerhouses like ICBC and China Mobile, in the Hang Seng Composite Index has driven investor interest in AI-driven growth and high-yield opportunities [4].
Overall, the positive performance of the Hang Seng Index and Hang Seng Tech Index on July 2, 2025, reflects a combination of market recovery, strategic additions to key indices, and broader structural shifts in China's capital markets.
