During intraday trading on May 18, Hong Kong stocks opened lower and continued to decline due to escalating geopolitical tensions and a sharp drop in US stocks overnight, with the Hang Seng Tech Index plunging over 2%.

The USD remains stable as markets adopt a cautious tone ahead of US retail sales and jobless claims data. President Trump's meeting with China's Premier Xi and a lull in the Iran-US conflict have eased geopolitical tensions. US equity futures are slightly up, with the S&P 500 and NASDAQ hitting record highs. Treasury yields are down, and UK political news includes the resignation of Health Minister Wes Streeting. Economic forecasts predict a rise in retail sales and jobless claims, while the US dollar shows little change before the data releases.
