Fund Positioning - Nearly 1,800 funds increased their Hong Kong stock positions in the second quarter, with some funds raising their allocations by over 50 percentage points. Notable examples include the Green Hong Kong Stock Selection A fund, which raised its Hong Kong stock allocation from 37% to 94.87%, and the Penghua Shanghai-Shenzhen-Hong Kong Internet fund, which increased its allocation from 22.87% to 77.85% [2][3][4].

Additionally, the correlation of Hong Kong tech stocks with domestic economic recovery enhances their appeal [7]. Future Outlook - Analysts suggest that the market may experience a "seesaw effect" in the near term, with alternating rises in technology and high-dividend sectors. The recent improvement in market sentiment, driven by macro policies and sector breakthroughs, is expected to stabilize and gradually enhance Hong Kong stock valuations [7].
