Hang Seng has been soaring lately. It is now one of the best-performing indexes in the world. The Hang Seng index climbed to H$22.620, the highest since October 7 and a 50% increase from its low point of 2024. Why is the HSI Index surging? What will be next?
The Hang Seng Index is on the rise
Three main factors have largely accounted for the recent rise in Hang Seng. The first is that the rise coincided with global equity markets’ ongoing recovery. In the last few months, the S&P 500 and other major indices such as the Nasdaq, DAX and CAC 40 all saw a surge. Global indices can be highly correlated in some cases.
The Hang Seng Index has also risen because recent data showed the Chinese economy to be doing well. The numbers showed that China’s economy grew by 5.4% during the fourth quarter. This brings the growth rate for 2024 to 5.0%.
The Chinese government’s $1.4 trillion stimulus program, announced in late 2013, was responsible for the majority of Q4 growth. This package is designed to help local governments who have been struggling since the collapse of the real estate market.
The Hang Seng Index has also risen as investors have bought the dip, since the Hang Seng was among the lowest-performing indexes over the last few years. There is an overall view that this index is undervalued.
