Risk Warning on Trading HK Stocks
Despite Hong Kong's robust legal and regulatory framework, its stock market still faces unique risks and challenges, such as currency fluctuations due to the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar and the impact of mainland China's policy changes and economic conditions on Hong Kong stocks.
HK Stock Trading Fees and Taxation
Trading costs in the Hong Kong stock market include transaction fees, stamp duty, settlement charges, and currency conversion fees for foreign investors. Additionally, taxes may apply based on local regulations.
HK Non-Essential Consumer Goods Industry
The Hong Kong stock market encompasses non-essential consumption sectors like automotive, education, tourism, catering, and apparel. Of the 643 listed companies, 35% are mainland Chinese, making up 65% of the total market capitalization. Thus, it's heavily influenced by the Chinese economy.
HK Real Estate Industry
In recent years, the real estate and construction sector's share in the Hong Kong stock index has notably decreased. Nevertheless, as of 2022, it retains around 10% market share, covering real estate development, construction engineering, investment, and property management.

Fundamentals
During the day, the fundamentals of AUDUSD are shaped by three intertwined themes: an unexpected weakening in Australia's labor market, growing market bets on an earlier RBA rate cut, and short-term fluctuations in risk appetite and commodity prices, which collectively determine its direction.
The latest Australian labor statistics indicate that the unemployment rate rose to 4.5% in September (up from 4.3% in August), the highest level since 2021. This suggests that employment growth is insufficient to absorb labor force expansion, prompting the market to sharply increase the probability of an RBA rate cut at its November meeting.
Additionally, the RBA acknowledged signs of easing financial conditions in its latest quarterly statement and financial stability review, while remaining cautious about the inflation trajectory. This implies that the pace of policy shift will be data-dependent and volatile. Any further weakening in data will quickly be interpreted by the market as a catalyst for rate cuts, thereby weighing on the Australian dollar.
Furthermore, overall risk appetite has rebounded during the day (driven by easing U.S.-China trade frictions and the resolution of some market risks), providing short-term support to commodity currencies. However, the suppressing effects of employment shocks and changes in interest rate spread expectations on the Australian dollar are more dominant by comparison.
Technical Analysis
From the daily chart perspective, the recent candlestick movement of AUDUSD presents a pattern of "high-range consolidation with a downward bias." As the MA20 crosses below the MA60 to form a death cross, the probability of a short-term decline in the exchange rate increases.
On the upside, a key resistance level for AUDUSD lies around 0.6530. If the exchange rate can break through this level with strong momentum and stabilize above it in the short term, it may continue to test 0.6700 upward. However, based on the current trend, the likelihood of breaking through this resistance level is low.
On the downside, a critical support level for AUDUSD is at 0.6410. If this level is breached, the downside space for the exchange rate will open up, with the potential to test the 0.6000 threshold downward.
