Haitong International recently released a strategy report on Hong Kong stocks, saying that reduced liquidity and exchange rate pressure on Hong Kong stocks would provide a short-term boost in sentiment, though close attention is still needed on onshore and offshore liquidity. The broker expected market sentiment to improve but with limited room.

Alibaba (BABA.US) surged nearly 13% after its results release, which may shore up Hong Kong stocks for a short period. However, considering that both A-shares and US shares are nearing their peak stages, Hong Kong stocks are expected to return to volatility after a rebound.
