A recent joint survey by Bright Smart Securities and PolyU has found that Hong Kong investor confidence has reached a record high, driven by a bullish market. According to the survey, over 60% of retail investors plan to increase their investments in the city's stocks, with many having already reaped significant profits this year.
Prof. Zhao Jing, Associate Professor at the School of Accounting and Finance, notes that the U.S. Federal Reserve's interest rate cut cycle bodes well for Hong Kong's stock and property markets. Additionally, she observes that US-led global tariff wars are reshaping trade patterns by forcing countries to recalibrate exports.
As an expert in behavioural finance, Prof. Zhao highlights the importance of staying informed about global economic trends and their impact on local markets. Her view offers valuable guidance for investors and industry professionals alike.
