If the Fed adopts a gradual rate cut and the U.S. core CPI peaks in September, the Hong Kong market may experience a liquidity-driven rally, particularly in interest-sensitive sectors like technology and pharmaceuticals, with significant improvements in win rates and returns [6] - If the Fed's rate cut exceeds expectations without triggering recession fears, the Hong Kong market could see further liquidity-driven rallies, with greater valuation expansion potential for tech stocks and recovery in financing-sensitive sectors like real estate and industrials, contingent on moderate economic recovery in mainland China and a cooling U.S. job market [6] - Should U.S. inflation remain sticky, leading to a pause in rate cuts, the Hong Kong market would revert to being driven by fundamentals, with performance dependent on the strength of economic recovery in mainland China. Defensive sectors such as utilities and high-dividend assets would show value [7] - The performance of the Hong Kong market is deeply tied to the fundamentals of China, with rate cuts serving as a tactical window, while profit expectations are the strategic decisive factor [8]
