Hong Kong equities closed sharply higher on June 12, with the Hang Seng Index extending gains amid improved regional risk sentiment and broad-based buying across key sectors.
The benchmark index rose 468.81 points, or 1.93%, to finish at 24,718.10, marking a strong session for Hong Kong markets as investors moved back into equities.
The advance reflected upbeat sentiment across Asian markets, with investors encouraged by stabilising global conditions and expectations of more measured central bank policy moves ahead.
Buying interest was broad, supporting a firm close after recent volatility, as traders continued to assess global macroeconomic signals and geopolitical developments.
Despite lingering uncertainty in external markets, Hong Kong shares maintained positive momentum into the close, reinforcing the index’s near-term recovery trend.
