On Thursday morning, the Hong Kong stock market remained relatively stable, following a minor decline in the prior session. The Hang Seng Index fluctuated near 24,516 during a volatile trading period. Modest gains in property and financial sectors were counterbalanced by a lackluster performance in the technology and consumer sectors. Concurrently, U.S. futures experienced a significant drop, reversing Wall Street's previous gains, as market sentiment shifted despite President Donald Trump's affirmation of maintaining Fed Chair Powell in his position.
