Today, the three major stock indexes in Hong Kong fell all day, with Korean-related ETFs collectively plummeting, while the robot concept went against the trend and rose. As of the close, the Hang Seng Index fell by 1.62% to 25962.73 points, with a total turnover of 325.386 billion Hong Kong dollars; the Hang Seng Technology Index fell by 2.66% to 4941.14 points. The top three performers in the Hong Kong-related ETFs are as follows: Ying Fu Fund (02800) fell by 1.66% to 26.12 Hong Kong dollars; Southern Hang Seng Technology (03033) fell by 2.62% to 4.83 Hong Kong dollars; Southern Double Long Haidilao (07709) fell by 13.41% to 90.92 Hong Kong dollars. Industry Performance 1. The strike at Samsung Electronics escalated, leading to a collective plunge in Korean-related ETFs. As of the close, Southern Double Long Haidilao (07709) fell by 13.41% to 90.92 Hong Kong dollars; Southern Double Long Samsung Electronics (07747) fell by 12.24% to 136.55 Hong Kong dollars; TR Korea (02848) fell by 5.51% to 1800 Hong Kong dollars. In the morning of May 15th, the South Korean KOSPI index broke through 8000 points to reach a record high, then plunged straight down, closing with a drop of over 4%. According to market reports, the Samsung Electronics union insists on holding a strike on May 21st as planned, after the labor negotiation broke down, causing Samsung Electronics' stock price to drop by more than 5%. JP Morgan stated that the impact of the strike on Samsung's production may be greater than previously expected because the union expects more workers to join the strike, estimating that this will have an impact of 14.08 billion to 20.79 billion US dollars on Samsung's operating profit, and sales losses could reach approximately 4.5 trillion Korean won (about 3 billion US dollars). 2. The robot industry continues to receive positive news, leading to outstanding performances in related ETFs. As of the close, the robot ETF Yifangda (159530) rose by 5.29% to 1.651 yuan; the robot ETF Fuguo (159272) rose by 5.21% to 0.99 yuan; and the robot ETF Jingshun (159559) rose by 4.91% to 1.475 yuan. According to market media reports, Tesla announced that Optimus V3 will debut in the middle of the year, with production scheduled to start in July and August, with the first factory designed to have an annual production capacity of 1 million units. Boosted by this news, stocks related to the robot concept soared against the trend. Xiangcai Securities predicts that as the official production date of Tesla Optimus V3 approaches, domestic companies in the humanoid robot industry chain are expected to receive orders one after another. In the future, with the data flywheel effect driving rapid progress in robot technology, the production capacity, unit production cost, and terminal demand of humanoid robots are expected to enter a positive cycle, thus driving explosive growth in sales of humanoid robots in China and globally, and the performance of related main manufacturers and upstream core component manufacturers are expected to improve rapidly. Institutional Views Xingye Securities Strategy pointed out that in order for the Hong Kong stock market to form a truly sustainable index trend, more conditions need to resonate. In the past period, the adjustment of the Hong Kong stock market, especially the Hang Seng Technology Index, was mainly due to downward revisions in profit expectations. In the index structure of the Hong Kong stock market, sectors such as the Internet, consumption, finance, and automobiles have relatively high weights, and their profit performance is closely related to the Chinese credit cycle, domestic demand recovery, and consumer confidence. Xingye Securities believes that in the second half of the year, there may be a beta market opportunity at the index level in the Hong Kong stock market. In the second half of the year, as the stability of the Chinese economy is further recognized by investors, especially as the trend of nominal GDP recovery becomes clearer and the expectation of a rate cut by the Federal Reserve under Powell's leadership in the middle of the year recedes, it is expected to catalyze a new round of upward momentum for the Hong Kong stock market index.
