Hang Seng Index futures close down 0.64% at 23,962 in night session

Night-session futures often reflect overseas risk appetite more than local cash-market conviction, so the modest declines in both the benchmark and tech contracts read as cautious positioning rather than a decisive move. The tech contract's slightly smaller drop suggests the growth complex is not being singled out for heavier selling at this point. Whether the cash market opens in line with these levels, or whether the night session's softness fades once Hong Kong trading begins, is the open question worth watching.
