1. Market Overview
The Hong Kong market opened on a firmer footing. The Hang Seng Index advanced 0.49% to 25,635.24, the Hang Seng China Enterprises Index gained 0.65% to 8,500.55 and the Hang Seng Tech Index outperformed with a 0.75% rise to 4,622.98.

5. Opening Summary
Major Hong Kong benchmarks started Thursday in positive territory, with the Hang Seng Index reclaiming the 25,600 handle and the Tech gauge extending its recovery momentum. Gains were broad-based but modest, indicating a cautious risk-on mood after recent consolidation.
Large-cap platform names edged higher in a follow-through move from overnight U.S. strength. JD-SW led the pack with a near-2% pop after unveiling new AI commerce initiatives, while NetEase and Alibaba also provided solid early contributions. Tencent and Meituan traded firmer, although profit-taking capped upside.
Stock-specific action was vibrant in healthcare. H&H International surged more than 13% on robust interim results, and Innovent Bio rallied over 6% after reporting encouraging Phase 3 oncology data. Akeso and Everest Medicines also posted gains above 4%. On the downside, logistics player SITC fell nearly 4% alongside weakness in shipping rates, and oil majors slipped in tandem with softer crude prices.
Sector-wise, biotech outperformance contrasted with declines in energy, shipping and select luxury apparel names such as Prada. No major IPOs debuted this morning, but traders continue to eye the pipeline amid improving sentiment toward Hong Kong listings.
