Macroeconomic Background
▪ Macroeconomic liquidity under pressure: The 30-year U.S. Treasury yield surpassed 5.1%, with global bond yields generally rising, directly exerting valuation pressure on interest rate-sensitive sectors such as technology and real estate in the Hong Kong stock market.
▪ Disruption in overseas semiconductor supply chains: Samsung Electronics is facing an unprecedented large-scale strike crisis, with nearly 47,000 workers planning to strike for 18 days, posing significant potential losses and directly dragging down semiconductor sentiment in the Asia-Pacific region, with the Seoul Composite Index plummeting over 10% in two days.
▪ Long-term positive outlook for the AI industry: IDC predicts that China's AI application public cloud service market will exceed 13.7 billion yuan by 2025; combined with expectations of TSMC's CPO plan soon entering mass production and a surge in demand for ABF substrates, the AI hardware and application sectors have become a rare safe haven in today's weak market
