Top Performers in Hong Kong Stocks
- JD.com rebounded 2.5% to HK$105, recovering from Wednesday's losses linked to Walmart’s stake sale.
- Xiaomi soared 6.2% to HK$18.60 after reporting a 32% rise in Q2 revenue of 88.9 billion yuan (US$12.4 billion), supported by strong smartphone sales and electric vehicle deliveries.
- Insurer AIA advanced 2.4% to HK$52.65 due to a 53% surge in first-half profits amid a policy-buying spree from mainlanders.
Market sentiment received an additional boost after the Federal Reserve meeting, where the majority hinted at a likely policy easing in the upcoming meeting if economic data meets expectations.
Despite the gains, Henderson Land saw a decline of 1.6% to HK$21.30 after its earnings halved, reflecting struggles in the Hong Kong property and retail markets.
