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
The dollar’s fundamental tone stayed firm last week, fueled by Chair Powell’s hawkish push-back at the post-FOMC presser. By refusing to pre-commit to a December cut, he forced the market to pare back easing bets and lifted the USD across the board. A partial thaw in U.S.–China trade tensions removed another layer of USD-negative uncertainty. Even the ongoing government shutdown—and the resulting data blackout—has not deterred investors, with most desks arguing there is still no compelling short thesis in the near term.
On the euro side, EZ Q3 GDP printed a tick above consensus and a chorus of ECB speakers insisted the “economy is in a good place,” yet the cross still couldn’t shake off its lethargy. President Lagarde reiterated that policy is “appropriately restrictive” and that a near-term rate move is “unlikely,” a stance that should put a soft floor under the single currency but offers little upside traction against a resurgent dollar.
This week’s EZ calendar is light: final French and German manufacturing PMIs, German factory orders and EZ retail sales are the headliners. Unless the releases materially beat forecasts, any EUR lift is expected to be modest at best. In the U.S., the shutdown may delay official releases, but private-sector surveys will still steer sentiment. Traders will key on ISM manufacturing and services indexes and the ADP employment report. A soft payroll pulse would revive December cut pricing, while firm data would give the USD another leg higher.
Therefore, the Fed’s reaction function remains data-dependent, with the labour market and inflation trends still calling the shots.
Technical Analysis
EURUSD remains in a mid-term consolidation range, but the short-term bias tilts lower. Last week’s close near the range bottom highlights dominant selling pressure. Immediate support sits at 1.1510. A decisive break exposes the August low of 1.1391. Resistance lies at 1.1580 and 1.1600. A sustained breach would revive upside momentum.
Momentum gauges show fading bullish impetus, making intraday rebounds prone to reversal. While 1.1510 offers a technically robust floor that could initially limit downside, persistent USD strength may still force a probe lower.
Overall, the pair is short-term bearish, medium-term range-bound. Monitor payroll data and any Powell remarks for shifts in Fed expectations.
