In 2025, the Hang Seng Index outperformed other global top indices such as the S&P 500 Index, Dow Jones Index, and Nasdaq 100 Index. On Monday it was at $26,935 – up 40% since its low in April. The article examines the reasons for the recent rally, as well as the biggest gainers.
The Hang Seng Index is soaring in 2025
In 2025, the Hang Seng Index performed well. It tracks China’s largest companies. The rally began because the performance of global equity markets was still positive, as most indexes were in green. Popular indices such as the German DAX and Nasdaq 100 are included.
The index also jumped when Donald Trump, in an effort to obtain rare earth minerals, announced that he had reached a deal with China. He reduced tariffs by over 100% and brought them down to 15%.
The index also benefited from this year’s artificial intelligence boom. This is significant as it includes some of the largest companies within the AI sector, such as Tencent and Alibaba.
Analysts expect the Chinese economy to reach a significant milestone, 5%. The soaring price of copper, which reached a record-high $13,000 is one sign. The copper price is often viewed as a barometer of the world economy.
